About 213,000 people were displaced in the Fujian province due to the landfall of Nepartak, the first typhoon of the season.

The deaths were all in the southeastern province of Fujian, where the typhoon made landfall, the civil affairs ministry said in a statement on its website.

Total economic damage has been put at 900 million yuan ($134.60 million), with 16,000 hectares (40,000 acres) of crops destroyed and more than 900 houses wrecked, the ministry said.

The storm is expected to worsen already severe flooding in parts of central and eastern China as its remnants slowly make their way inland.
