Chinese authorities have not confirmed any deaths.
Over 70 people are missing in China’s Shenzhen province after a landslide at an overfull dump site. Numerous victims were migrant workers from Henan, an impoverished northern Chinese province, who were drawn to the southern boom town for low-wage employment.
More than 4 000 rescue workers were using radar to help them dig at 16 locations before the official 72-hour survival window expired midday on Wednesday.
The Associated Press reported that the slide was caused by the combination of the man-made pile of construction waste coupled with rain.
Wang Guoshe, head of the Guangdong fire department, said locating the tops of buried buildings was the current main task, so that signs of life could be found more accurately.
The State Council, China’s Cabinet, has set up a team to investigate the disaster, state broadcaster CCTV said Wednesday.
Residents have said raised questions about why officials did not act to stop the growing mountain of construction waste, which they said they had feared was risky.
