Torrential rains have wreaked havoc across southern China, leading to the evacuation of tens of thousands of people and leaving many more at risk. Since June 9, at least 13 individuals have lost their lives due to the severe weather conditions, with dramatic footage capturing the devastation caused by flash flooding and mudslides.
The city of Meizhou in Guangdong province has been particularly hard hit, with nine reported deaths and record flooding along the Songyuan and Shiku rivers. Meizhou saw over 10,000 evacuations earlier in the week, with a significant portion of the population left without power.
