central China's Hunan Province, Feb. 2, 2008.
He noted that it was achieved through arduous and coordinated
efforts by residents and armed forces in the disaster-hit
areas.
The worst winter disaster in five decades had hit 19 out of 31
provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in the Chinese
mainland. By Friday, more than 60 people had died in winter storm
and nearly 1.76 million had been relocated in the past two weeks
but the latest casualty figure are not yet available.
The Politburo of the Communist Party warned on Sunday that
relief work would remain hard as weather conditions in southern
China would remain severe.
