Guest guest Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Last Updated: Friday, 24 June, 2005, 05:43 GMT 06:43 UK China flood death toll 'over 500' The flood waters have filled the streets of major cities Summer floods in China have killed 536 people and forced over one million from their homes, the government has said. Torrential rains in much of the country have left southern China submerged beneath muddy waters in the deadliest early floods for a decade. Heavy rains have come earlier than expected, with the city of Wuzhou, and the provinces of Guangxi and Guangdong badly hit. The worst flooding in recent years was in 1988, when 4,150 people died. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/4617891.stm Dear List Members, Since June 15, 2005, China has entered Me/Sa/Sa/Me.
