ZHENGZHOU, July 22 — Tens of thousands of people were being evacuated from flood-hit regions of central China today as officials raised the death toll from heavy rain that has deluged Henan province for almost a week to 33 people.
The fatalities included 12 people who were killed when the subway in the provincial capital of Zhengzhou, about 650km south-west of Beijing, was flooded earlier this week. “We bring out the elderly, pregnant women and children first,” said one of the volunteers surnamed Ma. This week, Zhengzhou became the epicentre of extreme weather in central China, registering 617.1 mm of rain from Saturday to Tuesday, almost the equivalent of the city’s annual average of 640.8 mm .
A man surnamed Xu said he had been trapped with his wife and two children in their high-rise home for days with no water.
