May 26 - Camping in cramped communites, Sichuan's millions of displaced residents are living in limbo in China.

China's 7.9 magnitude earthquake struck two weeks ago, killing over 60,000 people. Survivors fled to shelter in nearby towns, camping in relief-issue tents.

Many have no home to return to and no solid plans for the future.

Tyra Dempster reports.
