Four Killed in Landslide as Heavy Rain Drenches Northern China
NORTHERN CHINA, JUL 29 – Heavy rains triggered landslides and floods in northern China, killing at least 38 people and forcing over 80,000 to evacuate, with emergency funds and rescue efforts underway.
- Heavy rain on Monday, July 28, caused deadly landslides and flash floods in Beijing and neighboring northern provinces, including Hebei.
- Heavy rainfall occurred following record-setting floods into the Miyun reservoir, where the peak inflow reached 6550 cubic meters each second; some scientists attribute the increased precipitation in northern China to global warming.
- These storms caused at least 30 deaths in Beijing's mountainous outskirts, including 28 in Miyun and multiple fatalities plus missing persons in Hebei and Shandong.
- Authorities relocated more than 80,000 residents and mandated the closure of schools, tourist attractions, and campsites, while the city of Beijing raised its flood warning to the most severe level, alerting people to the extreme dangers posed by the ongoing rains.
- President Xi Jinping called for intensive measures to rescue those missing, relocate residents at risk of flooding, and reduce casualties as heavy rains persist and are expected to continue for several more days.
