Left-behind Family Members More Vulnerable After Natural Disasters

Zhong Yongxiang, 59, cleans his flooded house in Legan Village of Jiaoling County, Meizhou City, South China's Guangdong Province, May 23, 2013. Zhong has two sons, one suffering from cerebral palsy and another attending school outside their hometown, which makes life more difficult for Zhong after the rainstorm hitting Guangdong Province on May 18. With the youth attending school or working outside their hometowns, the left-behind family members are becoming even more vulnerable after natural disasters. [Xinhua]
