At least 10 have been killed in Baoding, a major city in Heibi, the city government said on Saturday. Another 18 were reported missing. The rains in the city forced about 627,000 to evacuate and affected more 1.1 million people, local authorities said.

Typhoon Doksuri slammed into southeastern China’s Fujian province on July 28 before weakening and making its way north.

Social media posts show people dropping off donations to these shelters or setting up booths to offer food, while a district government within Tianjin called on residents to help house their displaced relatives and neighbors. Among those relocated, more than 960,000 are from flood storage and detention basin areas meant to decrease the impact of flooding downstream in Hebei, the provincial flood control and drought relief headquarters said on Saturday.

Ni Yuefeng, the party secretary of Hebei province, was quoted in media reports calling on areas bordering Beijing to “resolutely serve as a ‘moat’ for the capital.” Meanwhile, Hebei had dispatched 3,385 working groups and mobilized materials worth 150 million yuan, or about 21 million US dollars, to assist with rescue and relief efforts, by Friday morning.
