Thousands Evacuated After Flood Hits China

Israa Farhan Heavy rainfall triggered by Typhoon Ewiniar has forced the evacuation of tens of thousands of residents in southern China, as floodwaters continue to surge across Guangdong Province. According to local authorities, nearly 300,000 residents in Huaiji County, part of Zhaoqing City in Guangdong, have been affected by relentless downpours since Saturday. As of Wednesday afternoon, approximately 70,000 people were evacuated to safer areas as flood levels reached critical thresholds. The torrential rains were caused by the combined impact of Typhoon Ewiniar, the first typhoon of the year, alongside a strong upper-level low-pressure system and the seasonal monsoon. The rainfall caused the water level at a key hydrological station on the Huaiji River to rise to 55.22 meters, surpassing the official danger level by 5.22 meters. Flooding has affected 19 towns across the county, damaging dikes, roads, farmland, and other critical infrastructure. At least 15 people sustained injuries, although no life-threatening cases have been reported so far. Emergency response teams have been deployed across the region, with over 10,000 personnel and more than 500 units of rescue equipment mobilized to support evacuation and disaster relief efforts. In response to the worsening situation, Huaiji County raised its flood emergency response to the highest level. As a precaution, all schools, businesses, factories, and public transportation have been suspended across the county until conditions improve. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand
