Eyewitness footage released on June 20 captured the moment a house collapsed during a landslide caused by torrential rain in eastern China’s Anui province.
Friday reports say heavy flooding and slides in southern China’s Guangdong Province took the lives of at least 47 people. Nine of the victims were confirmed dead in Meizhou city earlier in the week, with another 38 confirmed dead in a county under the jurisdiction of Meizhou city on Friday.
According to wire news reports, five were killed in Jiaoling county in the northeast of Guangdong Province, and four in Meizhou’s Meixian district Thursday.
It is estimated that over 55,000 people and thousands of homes have been impacted by the torrential rains, which have destroyed some 356 kilometers (about 221.21 mi) of roadway, damaged hundreds of bridges and flooded farmland. Temperatures are reported to have reached higher than 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit). #China #reels #videography #voanews
