Rescue teams are working around the clock to evacuate residents from affected regions and provide essential aid. The rising water levels have inundated homes and disrupted transportation, making the relief efforts challenging yet crucial.
In response to the disaster, China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) announced on Wednesday the allocation of 100 million yuan (approximately $13.95 million) to support disaster relief in Guizhou Province. The funds are expected to aid in the evacuation process, supply distribution, and infrastructure repair.
Local communities have come together to assist in the relief efforts, showcasing resilience and solidarity in the face of adversity. Authorities have urged residents to stay alert, follow safety guidelines, and cooperate with rescue personnel to ensure everyone’s well-being.
The situation remains critical as weather forecasts predict continued rainfall. Emergency services are on high alert, and measures are being taken to mitigate further risks associated with the floods.
