THE heavy rains and floods ravaging 10 southern Chinese provinces had killed 199 and left 123 missing as of 11:00 am today, a Ministry of Civil Affairs statement said.
Over 29 million residents in the provinces -- Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Chongqing, Sichuan and Guizhou -- have been affected by the inclement weather, with 2.376 million of them having been evacuated, the statement said
Over 1.6 million hectares of farmland have been flooded, with 12.5 percent of the crops completely destroyed.
About 195,000 houses have collapsed and 568,000 others have been damaged.
Total economic losses are estimated at 42.12 billion yuan (US$6.17 billion).
The ministry Tuesday dispatched an extra 5,000 tents and 20,000 cotton-padded quilts to Fujian province, 3,000 tents to Guangdong province and 10,000 tents to Jiangxi province.
The ministry had already transported 3,500 disaster-relief tents to the disaster-struck areas.
