"China has begun three days of mourning for the victims of the devastating earthquake in Sichuan province. Flags are flying at half-mast and a nationwide silence has been observed to mark the time it struck a week ago.

More than 71,000 people are dead, buried or missing following Monday's 7.9 magnitude quake, state media say. More than 220,000 people were injured.

And as aid efforts continued, the media said mudslides had buried 200 relief workers in the last three days. A local official said there had been some fatalities, but the numbers of dead and injured were not known.

The workers were said to have been repairing damaged roads. Two construction machines and six vehicles were also buried, Xinhua news agency said, quoting a transport ministry official. Strong aftershocks are continuing to shake the region, hampering the rescue effort. "
