Sandstorm, snow and freezing weather have hit northwest China's
Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region since Thursday, affecting five
million people and causing an estimated loss of five billion yuan (US$
714 million), local authorities said on Monday.
As the Siberian cold front moved southward, the extreme weather,
including strong winds, sandstorms, snow and low temperature, wreaked
havoc in most part of Xinjiang from April 17 to 20, said Qian Zhi, the
regional vice chairman.
The disaster affected 473,733 hectares of crops, or 69 percent of the
total in the region, and 411,466 hectares of fruit trees. About
103,500 livestock were killed while another 3.25 million were injured
or lost, he said.
The temperature in Urumqi, the region capital, dropped from 22 to
minus four degrees Celsius in three days, but it is expected to start
rising from Monday.
The regional government has ordered agriculture, forestry and water
resources bureaus to step up relief and restoration efforts, Qian
said.

Three people were confirmed dead in mud flows and strong winds caused
by Typhoon Neoguri in south China's Guangdong Province, said the
provincial flood-control headquarters on Sunday.
