Chinese Drought

China is now going through a time that Chinas drought relief office calls "an event rarely seen in history." The drought happening in China is affecting many crops and may even continue affecting many farms until later summer. Many people are suffering from lack of water; and although China is doing a lot to try and help themselves, that may be hard because there is currently no rain in the forecast for about 10 days at the least. The country of China has experienced many droughts and floods in the past but there has recently been a very big increase in these intense weather conditions.
