People pack their belongings onto a truck to evacuate from their village in Jiangyou, Sichuan province May 27, 2008, for fear that an expanding Tangjiashan lake - formed when landslides blocked a river after the May 12 earthquake - may flood their village. More than 150,000 people who face the threat of flooding should the lake near Beichuan bursts its banks were evacuated Tuesday. [Xinhua]
