At least 70 dead, dozens missing as extreme floods devastate Northern China
![]() 1225 Friday, 01 August, 2025, 10:45 At least 70 people have died, and nine remain missing after record-breaking rainfall swept across Beijing and neighboring Hebei province. Among the worst-hit areas is Miyun district, where 31 residents of an elderly care home lost their lives during the floods—making this one of the deadliest weather disasters to strike China’s capital in recent years. The rains brought over a year’s worth of precipitation in just one week, triggering landslides, overflowing reservoirs, and widespread destruction in northern China. Officials say the reservoir in Miyun reached dangerous levels, pushing thousands of cubic meters of water every second through nearby towns. |
