At least 14 people have died in the latest round of rains and flooding in southern China, as soldiers and workers build makeshift barriers with sandbags and rocks to keep the Yangtze River and its tributaries at bay.
In this photo released by China's Xinhua News Agency, water flows out from sluiceways at the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River near Yichang in central China's Hubei Province, Friday, July 17, 2020. Engorged with more heavy rains, China's mighty Yangtze River is cresting again, bringing fears of further destruction as seasonal floods that already have left more than a hundred people dead or missing have grown in force since last month.
Three more people died in neighboring Hubei province, the emergency management department said in a social media post. The dike gave way nine days ago, flooding 15 villages and agricultural fields in Jiangxi province, the news agency said. More than 14,000 people were evacuated.
