Nature is 'angry' in many places

On June 8, at least 3 people were killed and one person went missing due to the flooding raging in southern China. Meanwhile, in Australia, a storm with huge winds is threatening the vitality of ships every hour.

In Hunan Province, China, more than 1.3 million people have had to evacuate urgently due to the impact of floods. Estimated, the total damage has exceeded 500 million yuan, equivalent to about 65 million. Not only that, floods also cause landslides in Guangxi province, causing some roads to be blocked, traffic has not been restored. Many other central and southern provinces are also affected by floods.

In Taiwan, 3 people were killed and 3 others were injured due to heavy rain causing flooding and landslides. Heavy rain in the past days has flooded many houses, gardens and streets seriously affecting people's lives. Firefighters have been mobilized to pump water from areas where people live.

In Australia, a big storm with winds of up to 100km / h is raging, so many ships in Newcastle harbor are at risk of being sunk by waves. Today, 21 sailors on a 40,000-ton ship were forced to evacuate by helicopter to prevent human damage caused by strong waves and high winds.

So far 10 of the 21 Filipino sailors on Pasha Bulker have been evacuated and all are in safe condition. However, environmentalists are worried if the ship is sunk, oil will be spilled over a large area and will cause serious consequences.

There are about 58 ships waiting to be unloaded off the port of Newcastle, of which two large vessels have also requested assistance to evacuate sailors. It is known that Newcastle is one of Australia's largest coal export ports and there are always large ships anchored within kilometers for loading and unloading.
