Since June 17, the faith-based Amity Foundation, together with its partners, rushed to the rescue of the flooded areas in the south of China, carrying out emergency rescue, post-disaster help and recovery of production and life.
Starting from June 25, Amity has been assisting the flood-stricken areas, which were hit by torrential rains, such as Shexian and Xiuning in Huangshan City, Anhui Province. On the second day, Amity members distributed the delivered materials and conducted a new research on the disaster.
Meanwhile, according to the research recently implemented by Amity in Zhongdu Town, Shanghang county, about 9,700 acres, accounting for approximately 40% of the local farmland, were affected by the disaster. At present, the drainage of most fields has been completed. To restore normal agricultural production quickly, it needs to grow new seedlings to the vacant soil. However, as a result of the disaster, more than 200 irrigation facilities with more than 29,000 meters were damaged. On June 26, the foundation purchased 40 pumps and planned to distribute them to those heavily-affected villages.
From June 23, the team have been supplying about 1,000 severely affected families or those families with elderly people or infants and young children with 200-yuan “Heart-warming Vouchers for One Elderly or One Child” to purchase the necessary supplies. Many of the beneficiary families have expressed that the disaster has caused serious financial losses to their families. It’s a great relief for them in their post-disaster lives.
In addition, 150 garbage cans that were sent to Zhongdu Town a few days ago are now being put into use to help local villagers to better clean the public environment after the disaster.
According to Guilin Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters, some houses, roads and farmlands in nine townships were damaged to various extents, causing water logging. Amity also plans to provide 200-yuan vouchers to 1,000 families with elderly people or babies and children in Yongfu County.

6月17日以来，爱德基金会持续携手救援伙伴驰援南方水灾地区，开展紧急救援、灾后生活救助与生产生活恢复等多项工作。
爱德基金会自6月25日起开始驰援遭受暴雨袭击的安徽黄山歙县、休宁等洪涝地区。第二日分发送达的物资，并进行新一轮灾情调研。
同时，爱德救援队日前在上杭县中都镇调研中了解到，当地受灾农田约9700亩，占当地农田总数约40%。目前，大部分田地排水工作已完成。为了尽快恢复正常农业生产，当地部分农田急需及时育苗补种。然而，受灾害影响，当地200余处、超过2.9万米的水利灌溉设施被损毁。6月26日，爱德基金会采购40台抽水泵，计划近日陆续发放至上杭县严重的村。
6月23日起，爱德基金会陆续为中都镇约1000户受灾较严重的、有老人或婴幼儿的家庭提供200元“一老一小暖心券”，采购所需的物资。不少受益家庭纷纷表示，灾害导致家庭经济损失较严重。该券的发放，对他们的灾后生活而言是“雪中送炭”。
此外，日前送达上杭县中都镇的150个垃圾桶，目前已陆续投入使用，帮助当地村民更好地进行灾后公共环境清洁。
据桂林市防汛抗旱指挥部消息称，9个乡镇部分房屋、道路、农田不同程度受损县城局部地区出现内涝。爱德也计划为为桂林市永福县本次受灾较严重的1000户有老人或婴幼儿的家庭也提供200元“一老一小暖心券”。
