China floods force nearly 300,000 to flee homes – Reuters

From Reuters:

Floods have forced around 286,000 people to flee their homes in northwestern China, where steady rainfall since late September has strained the banks of the Hanjiang and Weihe rivers, the China Daily reported on Friday.

The rising water levels along tributaries to China’s two top rivers, the Yangtze and the Yellow river, affected over 3 million people in Shaanxi province and flooding on the Weihe river is said to be the most severe since 1981, the paper reported.
