China braces for super typhoon after severe flooding and thunderstorms leave multiple people dead

The death toll in China climbed to at least 11 on Tuesday after multiple extreme weather events battered the country, triggering evacuations and major rescue operations.

A southern Chinese region on Wednesday was reeling from the destruction and widespread flooding caused by record-breaking rain from the remnants of Tropical Storm Maysak.

Rescuers scoured flooded parts of China for survivors on July 8 after storms killed at least 17 people and caused dozens of rivers to overflow and a reservoir dam to burst, with officials warning of more rain.

Deadly floods have swept through China's Guangxi region following days of torrential rain, triggering a massive emergency response as rivers overflowed and floodwaters inundated towns and villages.
