Rainstorms in Chongqing Municipality have left four people dead and one missing.

More than 2.02 million people have been affected, with over 10,000 people relocated since heavy rainstorms began to hit urban areas along the upper reaches of the Yangtze River on June 25, according to the Ministry of Civil Affairs (MCA).
