【文稿】祈福昭通Massive rescue under way after Yunnan quake

Premier Li Keqiang has arrived at the epicenter of the quake-struck area in southwest China's Yunnan Province to direct rescue work. Rescuers are racing against time to save lives after the 6.5-magnitude earthquake killed at least 398 people and injured 1,800 others. But the rescue work has been hampered by continuous downpours, which have disrupted traffic, lowered temperatures in the remote area, and made food and medicine shortages even more dangerous. Thundershowers and downpours are expected in Ludian County, one of the most worst-hit regions, over the next four days, and temperatures could drop to 17 degree celsuis at night.
