中国官员说，将迁移并全面重建一个在上星期四川大地震中受损严重的城镇之一。中国官方媒体今天(星期三)援引地方官员的话说，北川县的这个镇四面陡壁环绕，已不再安全，因此要迁至平原地带。
新华社说，仅这个镇就有8600多人死于地震，70%的房屋被毁。在宣布迁移计划的同时，有关当局正加紧为大约500万无家可归的地震灾民提供紧急救援物资和帐篷。尽管希望愈来愈无望，但搜救工作仍在继续。
今天，一名被四川7.9强烈地震掩埋在一座发电站隧道下9天的妇女获得解救。
Chinese officials say they will move and completely rebuild one of the towns worst hit by last week’s powerful earthquake in Sichuan province. China’s official state-run news agency today (Wednesday) quotes local officials who say the (Qushan) town in Beichuan county, surrounded by steep hills, is no longer safe, and it should be relocated to flat land. The earthquake killed more than eight-thousand-600 people in that town alone,
Xinhua says, and destroyed 70 percent of the buildings. News of the relocation plan comes as authorities are rushing emergency supplies and shelter to some five million people left
homeless by the earthquake. Although increasingly desperate, rescue efforts continue. Today, a woman was rescued from a tunnel at a power plant nine days after she was trapped during the seven-point-nine magnitude quake.
