Guizhou province in southwestern China is facing severe flooding following relentless rainstorms. Over 80,000 residents have been evacuated as rivers overflowed, causing significant damage to infrastructure.
In Rongjiang county, floodwaters submerged a football field under three meters of water. Rescue teams are using boats to evacuate villagers and carried children from flooded kindergartens. A bridge collapse in a mountainous area of Guizhou added to the chaos.
Neighboring Guangxi region is also experiencing heavy flooding, prompting emergency responses. Authorities have issued red alerts for mountain torrents across six regions, urging preparedness for further emergencies. The extreme weather underscores the impact of climate change.
