The death toll due to a rain-triggered landslide in northwest China's Gansu Province Thursday rose to four Monday after rescuers recovered one more body, local authorities said.

The accident occurred around 2 a.m. Thursday in Guanshan Village, Sunan County.

The landslide buried ten family members and some of their livestock. Six others remain missing, but rescuers hold little hope of finding them alive.
