Meanwhile in Taiwan, hundreds of people could be dead after a mudslide buried a small village.
The landslides were set off by heavy rains brought by Typhoon Morakot, which hit parts of East Asia.

Morakot dropped some two metres of rain of Taiwan when it hit over the weekend, causing the worst flooding there in 50 years.
Rescuers are still searching for survivors in the village of Shiao Lin, after it was overwhelmed by a landslide on Sunday.
In Pengxi rescuers are being held back by falling debris.
Morakot weakened to a tropical storm early on Monday, but it has still been hitting south-eastern China with heavy rain.
