Deadly Floods and Landslides in China

Thunderstorms and tornadoes swept through Hubei province, killing 11, while flooding in Guangxi inundated villages and farmland.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping called for an β€˜all out’ rescue effort as emergency teams deployed drones to deliver supplies.

The death toll was expected to rise with more extreme weather forecast.

Scientists warn that climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of such events.
