by Hong Kong (Reuters) -The Heeligen rain strengthened on Monday by Beijing and the nearby provinces in northern China and tightened the risks of disasters including landslides and floods, said the authorities when they laid more than 4,400 people.
In Beijing, the colossal rain continued to move to the suburb of Miyun and caused flood floods and landslides, and many villages were affected, the state CCTV reported.
Pictures that were spread in China’s Wechat app showed areas of Miyun in which cars and trucks hovered on a flooded street on which the water level was so high that they were immersed in part of a residential building.
The power failures also affect more than 10,000 people in the region, said CCTV.
Northern China has recorded record ratios in recent years and exposed to densely populated cities, including Beijing, for flood risks. Some scientists combine the increased rainfall in China usually dry north with global warming.
The storms are part of the wider pattern of the extreme weather all over China due to the East Asian monsoon, which caused disorders in the second largest economy in the world.
The Xiwanzi village in the city of Shicheng near Miyun Reservoir was severely affected, CCTV said on Monday with another 100 villagers in a primary school for protection.
After the maximum flood river in the Miyun Reservoir has reached a record high of 6550 cubic meters per second, the Beijing authorities said on Sunday.
In the neighboring province of Shanxi, videos from state media showed that were flooded by strong swarming currents and submerged vegetation, including harvesting and trees.
The province of Shaanxi, the home of the Chinese historic city of Xian, also spent a risk of falling in the fall on Monday.
The authorities said that two high-risk road sections were sealed in Beijing’s PingGu district.
The authorities carry out search and rescue work in all of cities, including Datong, where a driver in a Ford car lost contact while driving while driving, reported the daily People’s Daily.
China’s Ministry of Water Resources has published targeted flood warnings for flooding of small and medium -sized rivers and mountain flows on 11 provinces and regions, including Beijing and neighboring Hebei.
Two were dead and two in the province of Hebei, said CCTV on Sunday morning. Rain for overnight stays made a record of 5.7 inches per hour in the industrial city of Baoding.
China’s National Development and Reform Commission announced on Monday that she urgently organized 50 million Yuan (6.98 million US dollars) to support Hebei.
The funds would be used to repair damaged roads and bridges, water protection embankments, schools and hospitals in the disaster area. The NDRC said “the restoration of normal life and production promoted as soon as possible”.
The Chinese authorities monitor the extreme rainfall and severe floods because they question the aging flood defense of the country, threaten to displace millions and to devastate 2.8 trillion dollars of $ 2.8 trillion dollars.
