More flooding is expected in the Three Gorges Dam area in China. In July, the water level in the reservoir rose to a record level of more than 150 meters. Rain is forecast in the coming days. In the west, China's largest city, Chongqing, is recovering from heavy rainfall. The resulting floods washed away cars, destroyed roads and trapped people in their homes. Thousands of local residents were forced to leave their homes. At the same time, showers will continue there for several more days. In total, the floods affected more than 20 million people in southern China. Officials say 86 people are dead or missing. However, Chinese authorities usually hide the number of victims of natural disasters. It is impossible to verify their data.
