The death toll from floods in northern China's Hebei province has risen to 29, state media reported Friday after record-breaking rains pummelled the region in recent weeks, APA reports citing CCTV.
"As of August 10, 29 people have died due to disasters in Hebei Province, of which six were previously missing. There are still 16 missing," according to the authorities.
Rescue efforts were still ongoing to find those missing, the source said.
At least 33 people died in Beijing as a result of a severe rainstorm and floods that struck in late July, including two rescue workers, authorities said earlier this week.
And more than a dozen people were killed in northeastern Jilin province after torrential rain last week.
