China-rescuers aid residents trapped by flooding in Henan

Chinese Authorities have warned of extreme weather and "multiple natural disasters" in the coming month, as heavy rain in parts of the country led to thousands being evacuated.

Dozens of homes and roads were damaged in northwest China's Shaanxi province during "once-in-fifty-years" torrential rains over the weekend, the Communist Party-owned Chongqing Daily said Monday. More than 10,000 people in central Hunan province were evacuated from floods last week that damaged more than 2,000 homes, provincial officials said on Sunday.
