A buried man found Alive after 50 hours in china

A man buried alive for over 50 hours was rescued from rubble by disaster relief workers in a rural Chinese town on Tuesday.
52-year-old Liu Ma Shendeng, who had been trapped in his collapsed apartment building, was sniffed out by trained dogs working with the rescue crews, The Associated Press reported.
Rescuers then dug by hand through the mud to pull him out, and carried him to medical attention on a stretcher.
Liu, whose nephew told CNN he was disabled and bedridden, was reported to be in a weak state but breathing normally.
The landslides in northwestern China have now claimed 702 victims, the AP reports, and over 1,000 people are still missing according to the government.
It remains unclear how many of the missing are actually in danger or just unable to confirm their safety, as communications in the area have been heavily impacted by the storm.
The flooding has affected millions across China, Pakistan, and North Korea.
14 million people have been impacted in Pakistan, where the flooding has been declared the worst natural disaster in the country's history. 1500 people there have died in two weeks of heavy rain.
