The death toll from floods in Anyang city, Henan Province of central China has risen by six to 18, with nine others missing, local authorities said Sunday. 
According to the Xinhua news agency, last week's rain in Henan brought floods and disrupted traffic, power and telecommunications. 
Anyang was among the worst-hit where 192,700 people were evacuated and 54,600 hectares of crops were damaged. More than 35,000 houses collapsed. 
The city government has allocated USD54 million for disaster relief. Relief supplies including bottled water, food, quilts and tents were airdropped to eight villages which have been cut off by road. 
More than 300,000 people have been involved in the rescue effort.
