Description: China records some of the highest numbers of disaster displacement globally each year. Most are pre-emptive evacuations ahead of major storms and floods that take place during the monsoon season, which runs from May to September. Disasters triggered 6 million internal displacements in 2021, and one event – flooding in Henan province between 16 and 31 July – accounted for 25 per cent of them. Almost 15 million people in 150 counties were affected and 398 lost their lives.
