From Monsters and Critics.com Asia-Pacific News Beijing - China has warned of a high probably of spread of disease in the areas of the country effected by the recent earthquake that so far has resulted in the deaths of 50,000 people. 'We urgently need body bags,' said Bai Licheng, a high official in the effected prefecture of Aba, after a visit to the devastated location of Yingxiu. The Xinhua news agency quoted Bai as saying that corpses could be found lying on the ground and the air already filled with the smell of decomposing bodies. High temperatures are accelerating the decomposition of unburied bodies, leading to the spread of disease, Bai said. © Copyright 2007 by monstersandcritics.com.
