Flooding in southern China has killed at least 55 people and forced more
than one million to flee their homes, state media report.
Torrential downpours have affected some nine provinces with more heavy
rain expected in the coming days, the official Xinhua News Agency reports.
Among those provinces badly hit is Sichuan, which is still reeling from
last month's massive earthquake.
Some 87,000 people were killed or missing after the 12 May earthquake.
The flooding has submerged large areas of farm land and destroyed 6,600
homes in Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces.
Many roads throughout the affected areas have been covered by
landslides, Xinhua reports.
The flooding in the Pearl river delta was the worst for 50 years, it said.
