National Meteorological Center has released a yellow warning for those areas. The administration says, the precipitation in Sichuan will reach its peak in this round of rainfall. A total of 58 people have been killed and 175 others are missing due to rainstorm-triggered floods and a landslide last week in Sichuan. Nearly 3.47 million people have been affected and 300,000 people were relocated. Relief supplies including tents, quilts, clothes and food have been sent to the affected areas, while there are warnings of more natural disasters such as landslides and floods.
