The Philippine Star
|July 30, 2025
BEIJING (AP) — Almost a year's worth of rain caused flooding and landslides that washed away cars, forced evacuations and knocked out power around the Chinese capital, killing at least 38 people by Tuesday.
The flood risk for parts of Beijing, Hebei province and neighboring Tianjin city remained high until Tuesday evening.
State media broadcast footage of muddy waters rising into homes in rural areas and rescuers carrying an injured person on a stretcher and searching on a damaged road.
