China: The number of people who died in recent floods in central China has increased dramatically to 302, officials said on Monday, more than tripling the previously reported total and raising questions about the full scale of the disaster. It was not immediately clear why the number of people killed in the central province of Henan had climbed so sharply. The new figure was issued by Wu Guoding, the provincial vice-governor, at a news conference on Monday that began with Wang Kai, the Henan governor, and other officials bowing in tribute to those killed in the floods. Mr. Wu said that the toll included the number who had died between July 16 and Monday. During a news conference on Thursday, Henan officials said 99 people had died in floods since July 16. There have been no reports of significant flooding since Thursday, suggesting a delay in the reporting of earlier deaths. At least 50 people are still missing, officials said. (Read more.)

Turkey: At least eight people have died in more than 100 blazes that broke out earlier this week, according to the state-run Anadolu news agency. The flames have been fueled by scorching summer temperatures and conditions that experts say have been worsened by climate change. On Turkey's Mediterranean coast, more than 1,100 people were evacuated from the tourist resort of Bodrum by sea on Sunday for the second-straight day. "We helped the evacuation of 1,140 people by 12 boats," Orhan Dinc, the president of the Bodrum Maritime Chamber, told local media."We did evacuation by boats yesterday as well, but I have never witnessed something similar before in this region. This is the first time," he said.
