China is grappling with severe flooding as heavy rains continue to batter the southern and central regions of the country. The National Meteorological Center has issued multiple red alerts, the highest level in the country's weather warning system, for rainstorms across several provinces, including Anhui, Hunan, Zhejiang, Guangdong, and Hubei. The extreme weather has resulted in overflowing rivers, submerged streets, and deadly flash floods, particularly affecting the city of Changsha. At least 47 people have died in Guangdong province, and 1,800 residents have been evacuated. The government has allocated substantial disaster relief funds, including 496 million yuan (approximately $69.59 million) to support flood control efforts in nine provincial-level regions. Additionally, 150 million yuan (about $21 million) has been allocated to Guangxi, Anhui, and Hunan. Emergency responses have been upgraded to Level III in Zhejiang, Anhui, and Jiangxi provinces. President Xi Jinping has ordered that citizens be provided with all possible assistance. The heavy rains are expected to continue, raising concerns about further geological disasters. In Hubei, heavy rainstorms since June 21 have disrupted the lives of 417,100 residents in 28 county-level areas, including Wuhan. Authorities are also monitoring 33 rivers that have exceeded warning levels.
