Five people are still missing and rescuers said the possibility for their survival is slim.

The disaster occurred in the wee hours Friday in Zuojiaying, a village in Nayong County.

Four of the five bodies rescuers found Tuesday were children, the youngest being less than one year old, deputy county head, Zhou Xunrong, said.

Rocks are still falling from the mountain and experts from the Ministry of Land and Resources will work with local rescuers Wednesday to find a solution to prevent the cracked rocks from falling, Zhang Jianjiang, an engineer with the provincial environment supervision center, said.
