Water gushes during the year’s biggest release from the sluice for flood prevention at the Three Gorges Dam in Yichang, in China’s Hubei province, on Sunday. Floods triggered by torrential rain in northwestern China have killed 25 people. Heavy rain caused havoc across a wide area of the south in June, killing 266 and leaving 199 missing.
