The death toll from the devastating floods in southern China’s Guangxi region has risen to 39, with nine people still missing, according to Chinese state media.
Extreme weather disasters have wreaked havoc in southern and central China this week, with reports of severe flooding caused by heavy rainfall in Guangxi. The latest reports indicate that a storm named Bavi is moving toward the eastern provinces.
According to a report by China’s Xinhua News Agency, 26 deaths occurred due to flooding caused by the collapse of the dam at the Liulan Reservoir, while seven people are still missing.
A rescue team has reportedly sent large drones carrying food and supplies to people stranded elsewhere, as water from the reservoir continues to flow in the form of floods.
In video footage published by CCTV, water can be seen surging from the broken concrete wall of the reservoir dam, while rescuers have been deployed in boats.
AFP reported that residents of Liulan were seen cleaning their destroyed homes, and some of them used excavators to retrieve their damaged household belongings.
