Flash floods in China kill 10 people and leave 33 missing

At least 10 people have died and 33 are missing after flash foods in Yuzhong County in China’s northwestern Gansu province.

Axar.az informs, citing AP, heavy rains since Thursday have triggered flash floods and at least one landslide in mountainous areas near the city of Lanzhou.

The downpour knocked out power and telecommunications services in the Xinglong Mountain area, stranding more than 4,000 people across four villages.

Three people were missing after a landslide in the village of Maliantan in Yuzhong County late Thursday.

Maximum rainfall in the area had reached 195 millimeters by early Friday, according to Lanzhou local authorities.

Chinese President Xi Jinping urged all-out rescue and flood prevention efforts.
