Following heavy rain, a landslide has caused chaos in south-west China.
It’s thought more than 100 people could be trapped under the rubble in Dazhai village, Guizhou Province. Torrential downpours have led to disasters all over southern China in the last few weeks. In June alone 235 people died in flood-related incidents. 
Authorities say that around 69 million people have been affected by the weather. That’s more than the number of people who live in Britain. The rain has caused power cuts, flooding, damaged roads and many people are without clean drinking water.
