Torrential rains are ravaging central and southern China, nearly two weeks after leaving at least 105 people dead and 65 missing.
Heavy rains across recently drought-stricken sections of China have triggered floods and landslides, which have forced more than 88,000 people to evacuate their homes.
Rain in the region is expected to last until Friday, and spread to north China in a few days, according to the National Meteorological Centre.
China's Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Finance jointly allocated 130 million yuan to Hubei and Hunan provinces for evacuation and reconstruction efforts on Wednesday, where record rainfall of as much as 15cms fell yesterday.
State news agency Xinhua said the flash floods and landslides caused by the largest rainstorm in 300 years last week killed 29 people and left 20 missing in hard-hit Yueyang city in Hunan.
The coastal province of Zhejiang has upgraded heavy rain warnings where the precipitation has caused landslides and threatened to overrun dams, Xinhua said.
