Military helicopters have sent 30 tons of relief supplies to landslide-hit areas in southwest China's Yunnan Province.

Rescue operations continue as three military helicopters from the Chengdu Military Command in neighboring Sichuan Province have airdropped food, bottles of drinking water and medicine in isolated areas.

Li Tian is a member of the rescue team from the Chengdu Military Command.

"Today we can finish delivering our current relief materials."

Helicopters started airdropping relief materials to isolated areas on Thursday.

Villagers in some landslide-hit areas have set up their own temporary shelters.

Bi Jianhua, a local official of Shuangbai County, says the victims' basic needs have been satisfied.

At least 40 people have been confirmed dead and 43 missing in the landslide that occurred after almost 10 days of rain in the area.
