(CHEN HAINING)

Landslide-affected villagers in Gaopo Village in Zhenxiong County, southwest China's Yunnan Province, wash dishes as they receive relief in a temporary tent settlement on January 14.

The landslide, which killed 46, hit Gaopo on January 11.

More than 500 villagers have been moved to makeshift tents near the village. Others have gone to stay with relatives and friends in other villages.

Plans to relocate and rebuild a village for 629 residents went into effect on January 12, just after rescue operations completed. Relocation will be completed within half a year.

The government has allocated 55 million yuan ($8.06 million) for disaster relief.
