Description

Rescuers sift through the debris left behind by a massive landslide in China's Yunnan province that has killed 46 people.

The 1,000-strong team employing heavy machinery searched the area Friday and Saturday.

Nineteen children were among those killed as the landslide swallowed more than a dozen homes, according to state TV.

Natural disasters are not uncommon in the remote communities of southwest China.

A landslide in October killed more than 18 school children and an earthquake last year claimed at least 80 lives.
