Flash floods in Yuzhong County, Gansu province, have resulted in at least 10 deaths and 33 people missing. Continuous heavy rain since August 7 led to these devastating floods. President Xi Jinping has called for maximum efforts in the rescue operations. He emphasized the need for regions to address complacency and enhance risk identification regarding extreme weather, which has been increasingly common. In other regions, heavy rains have caused additional flooding and landslides, affecting power and telecommunications services for thousands.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has demanded the "utmost effort" in rescuing the missing people, highlighting the government's commitment to disaster response and public safety.
