Rescuers evacuate residents on a raft through flood waters in Jiujiang in central China’s Jiangxi province on July 8.
The landslide occurred on Tuesday when 1.5 million cubic metres of earth fell into a tributary of the Yangtze river near the city of Enshi in Hubei province, the Xinhua news agency said, citing local flood control authorities. Red alerts have been declared in the provinces of Anhui and Jiangxi, which are bisected by the Yangtze. China’s water resources ministry also warned on Tuesday that water levels in the Yangtze and adjoining lakes would continue to rise.
China’s giant dams, designed to contain floods and generate electricity, have come under heavy scrutiny in recent weeks.
