The danger is far from over in the mountainous terrain, with the risks of landslides and flooding growing as the rainy season begins, officials said Thursday. The warning came as the toll of the dead and missing from the May 12 quake rose to more than 80,000, with 10,000 more confirmed dead in a single day. More than 5 million are homeless and may not be able to rebuild. Said Yun Xiaosun, deputy land and resources minister: "We are still having aftershocks, and then next month is the start of the rainy season."
