FRANCE 24 English published this video item, entitled “Chinese city picks through the debris after record rains kill at least 33 • FRANCE 24 English” – below is their description.
Piles of cars were strewn across a central #Chinese city Thursday as shocked residents picked through the #debris of a historic deluge that claimed at least 33 lives, with #rescue efforts ongoing as more heavy rain threatens surrounding regions.
An unprecedented downpour dumped a year’s rain in just three days on the city of #Zhengzhou, weather officials said, instantly overwhelming drains and sending torrents of muddy water through streets, road tunnels and the subway system.
Hundreds of thousands of people in the area surrounding the city were also affected by the #floods, with farmland inundated and road and rail links severed.
