*** 305 million people affected in 28 provinces ***
China recently experienced the worst floods for over a decade and many of those affected are women, children and elderly. Over 305 million people have been affected in 28 provinces when the floods have ravaged the country since June 2010.
August has seen fresh landslides where hundreds have died and thousands of people remain missing. More heavy rain is expected in the forthcoming week in the already flood-stricken country, threatening more fatal landslides.
Flooding has hit areas all over China this year. Weeks of heavy rain have swollen rivers and caused damage, landslides and bridge collapses across a swathe of the country. In the hardest-hit areas, flash floods have cut roads, isolated entire villages and disrupted communications and water supplies.
In the industrial city of Tonghua, torrential rains have damaged water pipelines, leaving 300,000 people without tap water for two days. Other hard-hit areas include; Jilin, Shaanxi, Yunnan, Guizhou and Gansu in North-West, Central and Southern China."
