Rescue efforts in the Chinese
town of Beichuan -the worst
hit by the Sichuan earthquake
- are resuming after a
temporary halt because of
flooding fears. Rescue workers
have been returning hours
after a warning that a blocked
river was about to burst its
banks. The warning caused
surviving residents and
rescuers to scramble for
higher ground.
