At least seven people died on Wednesday due to flashfloods in southwestern China, officials said. “Four (missing people) have been rescued, while seven have already been confirmed dead,” broadcaster CGTN reported on the flashfloods that hit Ya’an city in Sichuan province. Search and rescue efforts are underway. Meanwhile, the death toll due to heavy rains and floods in the capital Beijing has climbed to 33, authorities announced. As it made landfall in China late last month, Typhoon Doksuri brought heavy winds and rains, triggering flooding in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Officials in Beijing said 18 people were missing as of Aug. 2 since the downpour began on July 29. The rains and floods have also caused heavy damage, with authorities releasing millions of dollars to mitigate the suffering. The Finance Ministry and Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs also allocated 732 million yuan ($101.4 million) to local governments in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Jilin, and Heilongjiang in northern China, as well as coastal provinces Zhejiang and Fujian in the country’s east for “urgent agricultural flood control and disaster relief work, and to support post-disaster agricultural production.”
