Dixi and six other nearby villages in China’s eastern province of Jiangxi have been inundated by floodwaters from the nearby Yangtze River after it burst its banks on the afternoon of July 8, 2020. About 20,000 residents have been left without power and drinking water in just one of many areas that have been hard-hit by floods across large areas of China. In the nation’s central and southern regions, heavy downpours and flooding have gone on for weeks, so far affecting nearly 38 million people in 27 provinces, according to official figures. The extreme weather has been moving east along the Yangtze River to Jiangxi where flooding is now being seen along the river’s tributaries.
