The death toll in torrential flooding in a mountainous region of southern China has risen to 32, while more than 300,000 people were evacuated following the worst flooding to hit the area in a century, news reports said today.
Heavy rains have pounded the Guangxi region since Saturday, causing rivers to swell to record-high levels and threatening dikes protecting the industrial city of Wuzhou, the China Daily newspaper and the official Xinhua News Agency said.
