The red cross societies of Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions donated 200,000 yuan (24,400 US dollars) and 100,000 yuan (12,200 US dollars) respectively to the flood- affected areas. Local Red Cross branches have also dispatched about 125 medical teams.
Twenty-two provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions have been affected by natural disasters since May, which include landslides, mudflows, torrential rain and hail.
Former Cambodian King Norodom Sihanouk wrote a letter on June 14 to Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing to express his sympathy for the flood-affected people in provinces of Hunan, Guizhou and Sichuan, and donated 20,000 US dollars.
