Southern China Devastated by Flash Flooding The relentless summer monsoon season has brought catastrophic flooding to southern China, washing away cars and destroying bridges in a region already grappling with the consequences of extreme weather events.
The provinces of Guangdong and Guangxi have been particularly affected, as the swollen Yangtze River burst its banks, inundating towns and villages with waters as deep as three meters in some areas.
The affected regions are home to more than 10 million people, many of whom have been forced to flee their homes or seek shelter in emergency evacuation centers.
