We have 38 million people affected 1 so far by this flood of emergency, more than a million people have been relocated. A lot of the focuses on the three gorges 2 dam right now as we've seen that they opened the floodgates. This isn't the first time they've opened the gates during the current flood of emergency, what is unprecedented 3 about what's happening right now, is the volume of water which is going through the three gorges dam.
