China says the death toll has jumped to 702 people, with more than 1,000 still missing in a landslide disaster in Gansu province. Local government officials released the new death toll _ up from 337 on Monday _ at a news conference Tuesday. The landslides hit a remote Gansu town on Sunday in the deadliest incident so far in the country's worst flooding in a decade, according to a report of the Associated Press.
