BEIJING – The death toll from flash floods and mudslides in north-west China has risen to 13, state media said on Aug 9, after the bodies of three people were found.

Torrents of mud and water began hitting mountainous areas of Gansu province on Aug 7, with the

death toll listed as 10 on Aug 8

as rescuers searched for at least 33 missing people.

Natural disasters are common across China, particularly in the summer, when some regions experience heavy rain while others bake in searing heat.

Chinese President Xi Jinping called for the “utmost effort” in rescuing missing people, state broadcaster CCTV reported on Aug 8.

The death toll stood at 13, with the number of missing now listed as 30, state news agency Xinhua said on Aug 9.

Hundreds of people had been rescued and thousands more evacuated, Xinhua added.

It quoted a rescue official describing the situation as “complex” due to the mud and rough roads, with telephone lines and electricity also cut.

State media on Aug 8 put the number of people trapped in the mountainous Xinglong area at 4,000, with heavy rain pushing garbage into roads.

Beijing’s top economic planner has allocated 100 million yuan (S$17.90 million) towards disaster relief in Gansu.

Authorities also announced a yellow alert on Aug 9 for torrential rains and activated a flood response plan in the provinces of Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei and Chongqing, CCTV said.

China’s south has also experienced torrential downpours this week, with tens of thousands of people evacuated across Guangdong.

Heavy rain in Beijing in the north also

killed 44 people in July

, with the capital’s rural suburbs hardest hit and another eight people killed in a landslide in nearby Hebei province.

Scientists warn the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events will increase as the planet continues to heat up because of fossil fuel emissions.

China is the world’s biggest emitter of greenhouse gases but is also a global renewable energy powerhouse. AFP
