The peanuts in Fengmu village, Gutang county in central China's Hunnan province will have no harvest this year because of the severe drought. Some 290,000 people in the province are short of drinking water and 876,000 more are affected due to a lack of rain that persisted throughout July. [Photo / CFP] |
