China to build 1m houses in three months

The Chinese government said on Thursday it had mobilised state-owned enterprises to build 1m prefabricated houses in three months for survivors of last month’s devastating earthquake.

The government faces the daunting task of providing food and shelter to at least 5m people made homeless by the disaster, as well as rebuilding flattened towns and cities, some of which will have to be relocated.
