As a result of heavy rain and flooding in Beijing, the capital of China, and its surroundings, at least 30 people died. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
As a result of the incident, more than 80,000 residents were evacuated to safe areas. The waters destroyed roads and homes, leaving hundreds of villages without electricity.
President Xi Jinping ordered officials to be prepared for the most severe situations and demanded an increase in rescue operations. The government allocated 200 million yuan, approximately 28 million dollars, to address the consequences of the incident.
The greatest damage was recorded in the Miyun and Huairou districts. Some residents were forced to call for rescuers on social media, as the flooding started suddenly.
In recent weeks, other natural disasters such as landslides, typhoons, and heatwaves have also been observed in China. Experts link these events to climate change.
These situations highlight the need to strengthen preparedness for natural disasters and preventive measures
