Chinese officials say more than 1.76 million people have been affected by severe flooding in China’s northern Shanxi province.
China’s Meteorological Administration said heavy and prolonged rainfall and storms are hampering rescue efforts.
Reports say last week’s torrential rain triggered landslides across more than 70 districts and cities in the province.
Authorities added that more than 120,000 people have been urgently transferred and resettled and that 17,000 homes have collapsed across Shanxi province.
