HEFEI, July 15 -- Mud-rock flows caused by heavy downpours have injured one and left more than 7,000 people homeless in the Dabieshan mountain area in east China's Anhui Province, local civil affairs authority said Sunday.
Intense rainfalls since last Sunday have hit Jinzhai and Huoshan counties in western Anhui, and triggered severe mud-rock flows in several rural villages, an official with the authority said.

The mud-rock flows also submerged several bridges, roads and water conservation facilities. Meteorologists say heavy rain is still due in the area on Sunday.

By Thursday, 403 Chinese had died, 105 were missing and 3.17 million people had been relocated because of the floods, the State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters said.
