At least 30 people were killed in Beijing, and more than 80,000 were evacuated safe, the Chinese authorities said, as heavy rains and floods destroy roads and houses in northern China.
On Monday, in the city of Chende, about three hours northeast of Beijing, eight more people were killed after a landslide.
China deals with the summer weather. Write down the thermal waves to the eastern region of the country earlier this month, while the floods swept southwest.
Against the backdrop of massive floods in northern China, President Xi Jinping called for rescue efforts and ordered the authorities to prepare for “worst and extreme scenarios”.
“No effort should be avoided by the search and rescue of those who have disappeared or trapped in the residents in the affected areas, as well as to reduce the victims most,” the president said on Monday.
The Chinese authorities have allocated 200 million yuan ($ 28 million; 21 million pounds) to produce recovery, including repair and other infrastructure.
The eastern part of Beijing, including the suburban areas of Miun and Huir, were badly affected by the rainfall.
Floods damaged dozens of roads and violated power in more than 130 villages. The video shows that the rescuers wandered in the depths of the chest to get to the residents, as well as helicopters and drones who shift food and other help in the area of the disaster.
Mrs. Jan, who works in the province of Hebei, told the BBC Chinese that she was very worried about her family living in the Miyun area – one of the areas that hit the most badly.
Sunday, she was unable to contact her parents and grandparents who suffer from health problems and have limited mobility. Her family also took care of her pets: eight cats and three dogs.
Their village is small and distant, with just about 10 households, she said, adding that rescuers could miss her at all. With despair, she went to social media to turn to salvation, hoping they would quickly find them.
Residents from the flood areas reminded how quickly the catastrophe was unfolding.
“The flood came in, just so, so fast and suddenly,” said the Associate Press, Zhuang Zhelin, the store owner in Taishtun, near Beijing. “In the shortest time, the place was filled.”
Zhuang’s neighbor told the Associated Press that when the floods came, he “just ran upstairs and waited for salvation.”
“I remember thinking if no one came, we would be in real trouble,” he said.
In Beijing, the flood is not alien, especially at this time of the year. One of the most deadly in the recent memory took place in July 2012, when 190 mm of rain threw the city a day, killed by 79 people.
This summer, the floods were inflicted by chaos all over the Chinese.
Two people were killed and 10 were missing in Shandong’s province earlier this month when the Vifa Typhoon hit East China. Two weeks earlier, three people were killed in the city of Jaan, south -Western China.
Extreme weather, which experts resort to climate change, is increasingly threatening Chinese residents and economics – especially its trillional agricultural sector.
Natural disasters in the first half of the year cost China 54.11 billion yuan ($ 7.5 billion; 5.7 billion pounds). The floods accounted for more than 90% of losses, the ministry notes.
