The worst-hit area is the town of Longtoushan, the epicenter of the earthquake. The road there is narrow and packed with trucks carrying relief supplies. After nearly 5 hours trip, CCTV’s Wu lei arrived at the epicenter and filed this report.


Rescuers carry a victim


Rescuers carry a victim's dead body from the ruins after a 6.5-magnitude earthquake in Longtoushan Town under Ludian County of Zhaotong, southwest China's Yunnan Province, Aug. 5, 2014. As of 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, death toll 1 from the earthquake that hit Ludian County on Sunday rose to 410, with 12 people missing and 2,373 others injured. (Xinhua/Tao Liang)


The closer we get to the epicenter, the more damaged houses we can see. The road on the outskirts 2 of the town is damaged and trucks carrying relief supplies can go no further. Soldiers and relief workers have to carry the food the rest of the way to the survivors 3.



The search for survivors is still the first priority.

"We have used life detectors 4 and sniffer dogs to search for survivors. We’ve found no sign of life. But according to the villagers, about 7 people were buried by the debris 5," said fire brigade chief of staff Yang Tianjun.



Most of the houses were destroyed like this, firefighters and other rescue staff are sparing no efforts to search for possible survivors. Those families say they won’t give up as long as there is hope.



Families are waiting anxiously, Doctors and nurses are there to provide first aid. After several hours careful digging, two bodies are found: a mother covering her child. But it’s too late.



"Because the houses collapsed 6, there is very little space. We couldn’t remove the debris by hand. With the help of digging machines, our teams have to work in turn to dig for the victims. We have found two. Another five are still buried. We’ll find them, no matter what," said Yang.



Villagers say dozens of people are still buried in the rubble 7. The search for them continues, in the hope that some may still be alive.
