Hundreds of houses have been destroyed or flooded, as Tim Allman reports

At least 91 people have died and 111 are missing after days of torrential rain and floods in north-east and southern China, state media report.

More than 840,000 people have been evacuated from Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning and Guangdong provinces.

Almost eight million people are thought to be affected by the floods.

China's Xinhua news agency described the floods in the north as the "worst in decades". Incessant rain hit the south in the wake of Typhoon Utor.

The storm killed 10 people as it passed through Guangdong province last week but heavy rains followed bringing more chaos to the region.

Meanwhile, storms battered north-eastern Liaoning from Thursday to Saturday, leaving many rivers flooded in the city of Fushun, Xinhua quoted district officials as saying.

The rains cut off railway and road traffic and power in Fushun.

Almost 3,000 soldiers are helping with relief efforts, reports say.
