China has evacuated more than one lakh people as a river burst its banks and heavy rains continued in flood-hit regions along the perilously swollen Yangtze river. China is grappling with its worst flooding in a decade, with at least 1,100 people killed or missing this year, and Chinese premier Wen Jiabao warned there was possibly worse to come during an inspection tour of flood-hit Hubei province. Warning the situation was at a “crucial stage,” Mr Wen called for stepped-up flood prevention amid expected further flooding.
