21 people killed in China floods

Beijing:27 Jul 2013



Four rounds of downpours, which swept Tianshui City recently, triggered floods, landslides and mud-rock flows in seven townships and left people missing and buried, said the Tianshui City government.



Nine out of 28 villages in Niangniangba Township in Qinzhou District remain isolated because power, communications and roads were cut off. In Rongguang Village of Niangniangba, more than half of the houses were destroyed, said a rescuer.



The Tianshui municipal government said helicopters, excavators, generators, medicine and food, tents and quilts were needed for relief efforts. The local meteorological station forecast the city would have a new round of heavy rain in the next few days.
