Local Chinese residents take a boat on a flooded river caused by heavy rain in Bengbu city, east China's Anhui province, 30 June 2015. Floods and heavy rain have killed more than 100 people and inflicted 35 billion yuan (US$5.64 billion) in losses across the country so far this year, according to a report by a state-owned newspaper. And the downpours were forecast to continue across the country's south until Wednesday, with the China Meteorological Administration issuing a yellow alert for the region, indicating that up to 50mm could fall in a six-hour period, Economic Information Daily reported on Thursday (2 July 2015). Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Guizhou and Guangxi provinces are also expecting heavy rain. The report attributed the severe conditions to El Nino. More than 20 million people in 20 provinces have been affected, with 108 dead and 21 missing. And more than one million people have been evacuated and roughly 44, 000 houses have collapsed. Some of the worst-affected areas are in Hunan, Sichuan and Fujian.
