Many parts of China have been hit by floods and mudslides after a round of torrential rains hit the country. The downpour that started in early July 2021 triggered floods and mudslides in eastern and southern China. As per media reports, a huge mudslide damaged more than hundred homes and killed livestock in southwestern Sichuan province. More than 1,000 residents were evacuated. In Anhui province, the heavy downpour caused rivers to burst their banks, flooding farmland and villages. In Hunan province, village homes were submerged by flooding from nearby rivers. Stranded residents had to be rescued from their flooded homes. The country’s northeast region has also seen frequent rains this year, resulting in floods in the basins of the Heilongjiang and Nenjiang rivers. China has been on high alert after severe flooding hit the region in the summer of 2020. More than 37 million people were affected with an estimated loss of USD 12.3 billion. Rescue drills were carried out ahead of the 2021 rainy season. Heavy rainfall is common during the summer and stormy conditions are likely to continue till August. In May and June this year, heavy rainfall across China has caused at least 21 rivers to flood. Heavy rain and flooding continues to affect wide areas of China, in particular southern and central provinces. Over 8 million people have been affected by floods in the country since late May. Local authorities in Sichuan Province, China, report that 1 person was killed and at least 3 remain missing after heavy rainfall from 16 June, 2020. Heavy rain has damaged homes, roads and crops in the province. More than 20,000 people were evacuated in Danba county on 17 June. Heavy rain in the area triggered mudslides and debris flow that trapped at least 14 people who were later rescued. A search was under way for people still missing after the disaster. Media said the mudslide had created a barrier lake that threatens more than a dozen villages downstream. A small local power station was destroyed, along with several houses. China’s National Meteorological Center (NMC) reported that Xichang in Sichuan recorded 144.3 mm of rain to 18 June. Authorities warn that the Xiaojin river in Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province was 40 cm above warning levels.
