China: 2 Million Displaced, 141 Missing in Historic Flooding
------------------------------------------------------------

In China, over 2 million people have been displaced, and at least 141
are dead or missing, as weeks of torrential rains have caused some of
the worst flooding the country has seen in over two decades. Hundreds of
rivers nationwide have risen above warning levels. As many as 33 rivers
have risen to their highest levels in history. Some of the
worst-affected areas by the massive flooding include regions that were
the hardest hit by the coronavirus pandemic.
