Flood alert in China: Red warning in Anhui and Hubei, thousands evacuated

According to TRT Haber, a 'red alert' has been issued in China's Anhui and Hubei provinces due to severe frontal rainfall and flood risk. Intense precipitation affecting the country's central and eastern regions has forced authorities to launch a comprehensive evacuation operation. Thousands of people in flood-risk areas have been moved to safe locations.

China's meteorological authorities announced they expect rainfall to continue in the coming days. Both provinces are located in the Yangtze River basin, a region that historically experiences severe flooding disasters during the summer months.

While China's government disaster management units continue situation assessments, officials have maintained ongoing efforts to clarify the scope of evacuations and affected settlements. Official data regarding the exact number of evacuated persons has not yet been shared with the public.
