Flood Statistics
We are told that the floods are abating. The worst in 10, 20 or 50 years - depending on which rag you read. Here, in Liuzhou, I'd say 12 years. The worst was in 1996.
Whatever, according to local news reports, this year's floods have left behind four dead in Liuzhou Prefecture and many more across Guangxi. The floods have also affected another 800,000 people. 1,785 houses have collapsed and 65,318 hectares of crops have been destroyed.
As ever, the bulk of the damage, estimated to be valued at 530 million yuan (£40 million, $77 million (USD), €50 million) has been in the surrounding countryside rather than in the city itself.
Oh. And they are still building their moronic underground shopping mall right beside the river.
Anything CONCRETE how we can help the affected locals from overseas? Pls
nothing general like RedCross donations and such.
