Death toll from China floods jumps to 302, as Covid outbreak complicates recovery
CNN
The death toll from floods that ravaged central China last month now stands at 302, local authorities said Monday -- more than triple the last estimate.
Heavy rainfall hit the province of Henan on July 20, causing flooding in numerous towns and cities. Zhengzhou, the provincial capital of 12 million people, was one of the hardest- hit areas, with entire neighborhoods submerged and passengers trapped in flooded subway cars. A total of 50 people are still missing across Henan, the vast majority of them from Zhengzhou, said Wu Guoding, the provincial deputy governor, at a news conference on Monday.More Related News
