Photo taken on Aug. 3, 2013 shows the fissure on the paddy field in severely drought-hit Wengyong Village of Gulong Town in Huangping County of southwest China's Guizhou Province is wide enough to put a man's hand in. Lingering droughts in Guizhou have affected more than 13 million people. Over 2 million people lack adequate supplies of drinking water, and a total of 15.2 million mu (about one million hectares) of farmland is damaged by the drought. (Xinhua/Ou Dongqu) |
