Recent rainfall has
alleviated1 290,000 people and 220,000
livestock2 from lacking adequate drinking water in the two provinces, according to a statement posted on the website of the Office of State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters.
However, the dry spell is still affecting 5.47 million people, 2.76 million livestock and 6.07 million mu (about 404,667 hectares) of cropland due to
