Three people were killed after a mudslide hit southern China on Monday (July 6).

The video, shot in Ngawa Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province, shows firefighters and police evacuating people on site.

In another clip, several firemen attempted to dig the buried people out of the mud with their bare hands.

The mudslide was caused by a strong rainstorm.
