Torrential rain since late June in parts of China’s central and eastern regions, including Anhui, Hubei, Hunan and Jiangsu provinces, has caused severe flooding in some areas.

Under the guidance of local flood control and drought relief headquarters, courts at various levels are taking an active part in the disaster relief efforts.
