Print Edition
AT least 15 people have been killed and thousands forced from their homes by flooding in southern and central China, with more rain forecast, officials said yesterday.
Authorities said that Jiangxi Province has been hardest hit, with eight people killed and 65,000 displaced. Just to the south, the Guangxi region suffered five deaths with six people listed as missing.
Two other deaths were recorded in Hunan Province, where 2,000 other people were moved to shelters.
Fujian evacuated 17,000 people from danger areas, but no one was reported dead or missing in the coastal province.
Heavy rain forced the delay or cancellation of hundreds of passenger flights as flood waters rose to 2 meters.
