Chinese rescue teams have reached the epicentre of Monday\'s devastating earthquake, Wenchuan county, where an estimated 60,000 people remain missing.



A few hundred soldiers and police finally made it through late yesterday evening after being hampered by broken roads and bad weather.



They found 500 bodies within a few hours, but have still not searched many devastated areas.



The official death toll is more than 12,000 and is expected to rise.
