Since January the first, the northern part of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in Northwest China has been suffering the heaviest snowstorms in a decade. Homes have been destroyed and people dislocated. Now after days of efforts from the government and locals, the homeless have been relocated.
The cold snap that has gripped Xinjiang also brought heavy snow, especially in Tacheng and Altay regions.
In Yumin County of Tacheng, melting snow caused flooding that destroyed arable land, rendering houses unlivable. 35 households became homeless.
Local governments and people are making every effort to relieve the situation. |
