In mid-June 2016, severe weather such as heavy rainfall, thunderstorms and hail[2] began across southern China, triggering deadly floods. Over the following month, additional rain events exacerbated flooding and affected more of the country. Areas along the Yangtze River and Huai River have been particularly hard-hit.[3] An estimated 32 million people across 26 provinces were affected and more than 200 people were killed.[4] 280,000 hectares (700,000 acres) of cropland was destroyed, with state damage estimates of around US$5.73 billion.[5] According to Aon Benfield, the damage estimate has reached US$22 billion.[1] Flooding of this magnitude was last seen in the country in 1998.[6] The floods destroyed over 23,600 houses and left 3,600 refugees homeless.[2]
