Rescue teams in northern China are racing against time to assist residents affected by severe flooding triggered by Typhoon Doksuri's remnants. Armed police and volunteer squads have mobilized across provinces like Hebei and cities including Beijing and Tianjin, where heavy rainfall battered regions for days.
💬 'The worst rain has passed, but flood risks remain high,' local authorities warned, urging continued vigilance. Bridges and highways collapsed under the deluge, leaving some communities stranded. Over 10,000 emergency responders are clearing debris, delivering supplies, and evacuating vulnerable residents.
🌊 While weather conditions improved Wednesday, forecasts predict more storms could hit the area this weekend. Social media footage shows residents wading through waist-deep water as helicopters airlift trapped families. The typhoon—one of the strongest to hit Asia this year—has reignited discussions about climate resilience in flood-prone areas.
👥 With road networks disrupted, volunteers are using inflatable boats to reach isolated neighborhoods. 'We’re prioritizing elderly and children first,' said a Red Cross coordinator working in Beijing’s outer districts.
