Recent heavy rains and floods from Typhoon Gaemi have wreaked havoc in the southern Chinese province of Hunan, resulting in at least 30 deaths and 35 people reported missing across eight towns. The state-run news agency Xinhua revealed that rescue teams managed to reach these isolated towns that had been cut off from the outside world due to damaged infrastructure and power grids.
Local authorities confirmed that significant progress has been made in restoring roads, electricity, and communications in the severely affected towns of Zixing City. Despite the improvements, ongoing search and rescue operations are still in full swing to locate the missing individuals and provide assistance to those in need.
