BEIJING, July 10 - Floods have caused seven more deaths in the provinces

Another 26 people are missing as a result of torrential rain which began
lashing the Huaihe River valley, the eastern area of Sichuan Province and
the southern area of Shaanxi Province on June28.
About 28 million people have been affected and nearly 800,000 people in
Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan, Hubei, Sichuan, Chongqing and Shaanxi had been
evacuated by 4:00 p.m. on Monday.
More than 75,500 houses have collapsed and another 295,600 have been
damaged.
Altogether 2.13 million hectares of farmland have been affected, with
agricultural losses estimated at 3.7 billion yuan (about 485 million U.S.
dollars) while total direct economic losses could reach 6.9 billion yuan,
according to the spokesman.
In Hubei Province, seven people have been killed in heavy rains and
floods -- two were swept away by floods, three were killed after houses

In Anhui Province, 11 people have died in the floods, which have also
affected nearly 10 million people, forced the evacuation of more than
120,000 people and caused more than 2.3 billion yuan of direct economic
losses, Li Hongta, director of the Anhui Provincial Department of Civil
Affairs, told an anti-floods conference on Monday.
In the eastern Chinese city of Nanjing, capital of Jiangsu Province, the

some districts of the city over the weekend, according to the Nanjing
Municipal Meteorological Station.
Meanwhile, more than 14,000 thunderbolts hit Nanjing between Saturday
morning and Sunday morning, about 10 thunderbolts a minute, damaging some
city infrastructure such as subway power equipment.
