China rescuers 'won't give up'

Rescuers held out hope of finding more survivors, nearly five days after a powerful earthquake ravaged China's Sichuan province, as authorities prepared for the daunting task of housing and feeding the millions left homeless.

Buoyed by finding a girl alive after 100 hours trapped in a school following Monday's 7.9-magnitude quake, President Hu Jintao said they would not give up hope of finding others.

Officials have said the earthquake's final death toll could reach 50,000.
