Rongjiang County in Guizhou Province faced a new wave of flooding on June 28, forcing over 40,000 residents to evacuate. But amid the chaos, a story of resilience unfolds. 🌧️💪
CGTN reporter Sun Tianyuan toured the county's largest temporary shelter, where displaced families are finding refuge. 'The priority is ensuring everyone has food, clean water, and medical care,' Sun reported, highlighting rows of tidy cots and volunteers distributing supplies like instant noodles and bottled water.
Local authorities have mobilized medical teams to monitor health risks, while psychologists provide emotional support—a critical step often overlooked in disaster responses. 🩺❤️ One evacuee shared: 'We lost our home, but we’re safe here. The kids even have books to read.'
With more rain forecast, Rongjiang’s disaster management strategies are being put to the test. But for now, the shelters stand as symbols of community solidarity in China’s southwest. 🤝🌏
