Beijing: Seven people were confirmed dead, 14 people rescued and over 430 still missing more than 24 hours after a passenger ship carrying 456 people capsized in China's Yangtze river, authorities said on Tuesday.

Rescuers said there could be more survivors in the upturned wreckage, but strong winds and heavy rain were hampering rescue efforts. More than 430 people are still missing, according to Xinhua.
