Mudslides and flooding waters have affected millions of people all across Asia as rising and rushing waters have brought a reported 127 deaths in parts of northwestern China and numbers may rise.

Roughly 4 million Pakistanis are forced dealing with a shortage of food during the heaviest flooding the country has ever faced.  In Kashmir there are 500 people missing and 132 deaths already reported as rescuers race to search for all unaccounted people.

The highest water level in years in the state media of North Korea have completely demolished many thousand homes and crops.  Horrified citizens have raced for higher grounds or taken to upper levels of apartment buildings in the province of Gansu China.  The area was ravaged by flash flooding, destroying buildings and washing away cars after a debris-block river let loose overnight.

Officials were still searching for an estimated 1,300 missing people from China’s worst flooding in a decade.  This according to the official Xinhua News Agency.

The heaviest damaged area was the country seat of Zhouqu which is located in the Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture province.  Homes were buckled and roads were covered in mud and water more than a yard (meter) high.

There have been complaints from flood victims saying aid did not arrive quick enough or not at all.  As the heavy rains continue down on many parts of the country, the number of people requiring assitance will surely rise.

Among the reported deaths are five foreign tourists whose identities and nationalities are not yet known.  There are an expected 2,000 foreign tourists in the country areas, which draws adventure sports enthusiasts.
