Emergency water distribution systems have finally been established after Sunday's earthquake in southwest China's Yunnan Province, providing water to 187,000 people.

Over 185 km of pipelines have been repaired, the State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters said on Friday, but there are still 42,900 people without drinking water.

Sunday's quake killed over 600 people and injured another 3,000. More than 110 people are still missing.
