A temporary camp was set up in a nearby village, where 118 people are now staying.
Wang Zhuhuang, who is over 70 years old, kept crying while a doctor, Zheng Xiuxiu, tried to comfort her. "All of a sudden, three of my family were nowhere to be seen," she said.
Wang's son, daughter-in-law and great granddaughter are missing. Her granddaughter-in-law, who is seven months' pregnant, narrowly escaped death and is receiving treatment.
While waiting to treat survivors, doctor Lei Qiang checked the physical condition of the relocated villagers.
"Several of them suffer from high blood pressure and painful joints, but we only brought medicine for emergency treatment," he said, adding that more medicine was on the way.
