🔴11 people are missing after continuous heavy rainfall in China's Guangdong Province
🔴A total of 11 people are missing after continuous heavy rainfall hit many parts of south China's Guangdong Province in recent days, the provincial emergency management department said.
According to Xinhua, the search and rescue operations are still underway, the department said, adding that six of the missing individuals are from Jiangwan Township, Shaoguan City, while the other five are from Dalong Village, Qingyuan City.
In the city of Shaoguan in the north of the province, where large areas are flooded and landslides have been reported, rescuers were sent to relocate trapped residents and transport food and other materials.
The most seriously affected areas are located along the Bei River, a southern tributary of the Pearl River, which flows from Shaoguan to the Pearl River Delta.
The recent heavy rainfall has affected many cities, including Shaoguan, Guangzhou, Heyuan, Zhaoqing, Qingyuan, Meizhou, and Huizhou, resulting in damaged houses, blocked roads, and landslides.
Provincial authorities warned that water levels in the Bei River were expected to hit once in a century levels after another flood earlier this month. They later downgraded the warning, saying water would reach once in 50 years levels.
Ä°n Guangdong Province, more than 54,000 people have been relocated across the province, with 12,256 people being urgently resettled, the department said. So far, 36 houses have collapsed, 48 houses have been severely damaged, resulting in a direct economic loss of nearly 140.6 million yuan or about 19.8 million U.S. dollars.
