Others will receive 100,000 yuan with a 200 yuan subsidy, and 50,000 yuan with a 100 subsidy, depending on the extent of their injuries. People who lost their houses have been advised to stay with relatives until funds can be arranged to build new houses for them, the website said. Children under 18 who lost their parents and are still studying will be exempted from school fees. Police have made repeated checks of 70 villages near the site of the mudslide, and have put the number of missing at 10.
