Breached levees have trapped more than 10,000 people in an eastern Chinese town as flooding worsens across much of the country, local authorities said Tuesday.
High waters overcame flood defences protecting Guzhen, a town in Anhui province, on Sunday, the provincial government said on its official microblog.
China's Meteorological Administration said more heavy rainfall along the Yellow River and Huai River is expected over the next three days. The move forced more than 2,000 people to seek safety in the middle of the night, some loading blankets and furniture onto three-wheel motorcycles.. Both the Yangtze, China's mightiest river, and the Yellow River to the north have become engorged following torrential rains.
