Tropical Storm Prapiroon has killed 57 in south China as of Sunday with 16 people still missing, the official Xinhua news agency said, as the storm forced the relocation of more than 660,000 people. Over 5 million people were hit by torrential rains after the storm made landfall in the southern province of Guangdong on Thursday evening, triggering landslides, destroying crops and damaging thousands of homes, local officials have said. Direct economic losses were earlier estimated by local officials at 2.4 billion yuan ($300 million), Reuters reported.
