Rain adds to woes of thousands in Pingwu county

Thousands of earthquake survivors in mountainous Pingwu county have been hit by pouring rain since midnight on Wednesday.

Floods and landslides triggered by the heavy rain have also blocked the county's main road and telecom services were down yesterday causing further delay to the delivery of relief supplies from the outside.

"When is it going to stop raining?" Wang Xin, a 28-year-old mother asked herself.
