The Chinese famine of 1906-7 was one of a series of famines produced by crop shortfalls due to flooding in central China. Despite the severity of the shortfall, the famine was one of the first in China which saw effective government-private disaster relief.
The period xx to xx Bill Kte'pi estimated that 10 percent of the population of northern Jiangsu and parts of central China may have died, and put the death toll as possibly being as high as 25 million people, which would make it is the second-worst famine in recorded history.[1][2] The Argus, a contemporary Australian newspaper, likewise reported on 22 February 1907 that "Ten millions of Chinese" were suffering, and that half of them were doomed to death unless measures would be adopted to save them.[3]
On 26 June 1907, The Argus reported that the crisis was at an end.[4]
