Emergency teams are racing against time after two landslides struck Dafang County in southwest China's Guizhou Province on Thursday. Local authorities confirmed to CMG that an unconfirmed number of people remain trapped, with two individuals reported in Changshi Township and multiple others in Guawa Township.
🚑 Heavy machinery and rescue crews have flooded the area, working tirelessly to locate survivors. The region's mountainous terrain and recent heavy rains—common in Guizhou's monsoon season—are complicating efforts. "Every second counts," said one first responder via livestream, echoing the urgency of the mission.
🌍 While landslides aren't uncommon in this geologically active province, climate experts warn that extreme weather patterns could increase such risks globally. For now, all eyes remain on Guizhou as teams battle mud and debris to bring people to safety. Stay tuned for updates.
