Severe rainfall in China has triggered devastating floods, with the official death toll rising to 70.
Provincial authorities report that since the beginning of the week, storms described as “delivering nearly a year’s worth of rainfall in just seven days” have caused extensive destruction across several regions of the country.
The floods have been particularly catastrophic in a care home in Miyun, north-east of Beijing, where 31 people lost their lives. The facility was housing 69 residents, 55 of whom were disabled, at the time of the disaster.
In total, 44 people have died in Beijing and surrounding areas, 16 in Hebei province, and 10 in Shanxi province. Meanwhile, search and rescue operations continue for nine missing individuals, including four municipal workers.
According to The Guardian, the storms overturned vehicles, submerged homes, forced the evacuation of more than 80,000 people and caused power outages in over 100 villages.
