<p>Floodwaters rose to 3.5 metres in Hubei province’s Liulin township following heavy rains that began on Wednesday.</p>
<p>The latest deaths add to the more than 300 people killed in flooding last month in Henan province just to the north.</p>
<p>The vast majority of those victims were in Zhengzhou, Henan’s provincial capital, where at least 292 died, including 14 who were trapped when the subway system was inundated.</p>

<p>The new Hubei floods have been relatively small in comparison, with just over 8,000 people affected, according to the official Xinhua News Agency.</p>
<p>China regularly suffers seasonal flooding, but this year has been particularly severe with torrential rains reaching from the centre of the country as far north as Beijing.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>The floods come on top of efforts to contain an outbreak of the Delta variant of Covid-19 that has particularly affected Henan and the eastern province of Jiangsu.</p>
<p>China’s worst floods in recent years were in 1998, when more than 2,000 people were killed and almost three million homes were destroyed, mostly along China’s biggest river, the Yangtze.</p>
<p>Direct losses from this summer’s flooding are already estimated to be more than £10 billion.</p>
