AT LEAST 89 KILLED, 41 MISSING IN CHINA FLOODS
The death toll in the southwest China floods has risen to 89, with 41 people still missing, AzerTAj reported referring to the Xinhua Agency.
More seriously suffered the city of Dashjou with 55 killed and 27 missing.
The Chinese central government has allocated 40 million yuan, or 4.8 million US dollars, in disaster relief for the flood-affected regions.
The bulk of the money will go to Sichuan province and Chongqing Municipality, which were devastated by floods triggered by a rainstorm on 2-5 September.
The rainstorm caused floods and landslides that trapped hundreds of people, destroyed farmland and transportation links.
The State Council has dispatched a disaster-relief mission to work together with local governments.
And the China's Red Cross allocated relief goods including tents and quilts to the disaster-hit areas.
