Breaking News China quake victims flee 'flood'

There has been panic in the quake-hit Chinese city of Beichuan after reports a river had burst its bank sparked fears the entire city could be flooded.

The BBC's Paul Danahar in Beichuan says there was a stampede as thousands of people fled to higher ground.
The whole city has been evacuated, forcing the suspension of all rescue efforts, our correspondent says.

Post Quake effort resumes after panic

Rescue efforts are resuming in Beichuan in China, after the entire city was evacuated amid fears that it could be engulfed by a river bursting its banks.

The city was reduced to ruins by Monday's earthquake, but efforts are still going on to find and dig survivors from the rubble.

The region shuddered again as a strong aftershock - measured by the US Geological Survey at 6.0 - struck at 0108 Sunday local time (1508 GMT Saturday).
There have been hundreds of aftershocks since Monday's quake, some causing landslides which have made conditions even more difficult.
