Anhui flood expected to worsen as more rain arrives

Lang Maoyong, a 49-year-old villager of Hexie village, Wangjiaba town, said that currently there is still no need to relocate.

"Our village is located on higher land above the flood, so it's fine," he said. "Food and other materials we stored in advance can sustain my family for a week. The government has supported us a lot."

Guo Chang, an official of the village, said his routine task was to check the number of villagers and whether they need food or medical aid.
