The Ministry of Civil Affairs said it would send a team to the region on Saturday to help with rescue work. Wuhou, a hilly city in the region, has taken the worst battering, with 13 of the deaths and 24 injuries; 16,000 locals were evacuated. "Try to imagine that one-fifth of a year''s average rainfall has been poured on the city in just eight hours," said an official with the autonomous region''s civil affairs department who gave only his surname, Pan. Local weather statistics showed that Wuzhou receives an average of 1,500 millimeters of rain per year, but in eight hours on Thursday, the city received 306 millimeters. But amid the tragedy and difficulty caused by the rain, Leizhou Peninsula in the southwestern part of South China''s Guangdong Province has been suffering from severe drought since the beginning of the year. "The drought has greatly affected water use for farms and led to insufficient drinking water supplies," said Wang Jinshan, director of the Leizhou Meteorological Bureau. Friday''s high temperature was 34°C, Wang said, adding: "It''s the worst drought in the area in 60 years."
