15 people are dead and four are missing after torrential rain lashed the Chinese metropolis of Chongqing, local officials and state media said Wednesday (July 5).
"The latest round of torrential rains since Monday had killed 15 people and left four others missing in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality as of 7am Wednesday," state news agency Xinhua said, citing local authorities, who confirmed the toll to AFP.
And President Xi Jinping ordered that"authorities at all levels must give top priority to ensuring people's safety and property", Xinhua said Wednesday. In neighbouring Sichuan province, authorities said more than 460,000 had been affected by the heavy rain this month, Xinhua reported. The floods coincided with record heatwaves in other parts of China, with the country's National Meteorological Center warning residents in the capital Beijing and a dozen other regions to stay indoors with temperatures topping 35°C.
