BEIJING: More than 100,000 people have been evacuated due to heavy rain and fatal floods in southern China, with the government issuing its highest-level rainstorm warning for the affected area

This aerial photo taken on Apr 22, 2024 shows a general view of flooded buildings and streets after heavy rains in Qingyuan city, in China ’s southern Guangdong province. Torrential rains have lashed Guangdong in recent days, swelling rivers and raising fears of severe flooding that state media said could be of the sort only"seen around once a century".

Official media reported Sunday that more than 45,000 people had been evacuated from Qingyuan, which straddles the Bei River tributary. Aerial shots from the province showed brown gashes in the side of a hill - the aftermath of landslides that had occurred behind a town on the banks of a swollen river."Please quickly take precautions and stay away from dangerous areas such as low-lying areas prone to flooding," authorities in Shenzhen said in issuing Tuesday's red alert.
