中國(guó)政府的一份報(bào)告說,去年發(fā)生的洪災(zāi)、臺(tái)風(fēng)和干旱導(dǎo)致3000多人死亡。官方新華社援引民政部的報(bào)告說,自然災(zāi)害造成大約330億美元的損失,迫使 1380萬人被迫疏散或者重新安置。這是自1998年后中國(guó)遭遇的第二次創(chuàng)記錄的重大損失。1998年,中國(guó)最長(zhǎng)的河流長(zhǎng)江泛濫,造成大約390億美元的損失。
長(zhǎng)江防洪副總指揮說,今年的氣候條件與1998年的相似。這位官員警告說,今年年中夏季時(shí),長(zhǎng)江有可能遭受巨大洪災(zāi)襲擊。
A Chinese government report says floods, typhoons and drought killed more than three thousand people in the country last year. The state-run Xinhua news agency quotes the Ministry of Civil Affairs report that says natural disasters caused some 33 billion dollars in damage, and forced some 13-point-eight million people to be evacuated or resettled from their homes. The damages were China's second largest on record after 1998, when floods from the country's longest river, the Yangtze, caused some 39 billion dollars in damage.
