China: Rescue operations underway as floods devastate Beijing's northern suburbs
Storyline: Emergency rescue efforts have been underway across northern Beijing following days of torrential rain that triggered widespread flooding, landslides, and infrastructure collapse. Authorities have mobilized armed police, firefighters, and drones to reach stranded residents and deliver critical supplies. Sustained heavy rainfall since last Wednesday has led to significant inflows into Miyun Reservoir in northern Beijing, prompting controlled water discharge to begin on Sunday. Downstream rivers, including the Chaohe River, the Baihe River, and the Chaobai River, remain at high water levels. The local water authorities have urged residents in districts of Miyun, Huairou, Shunyi, and Tongzhou to avoid riverbanks amid heightened flood risks. Officials said round-the-clock monitoring of river channels, dam integrity, and levees is underway. The flood washed out parts of the roads in Baiya Village in Miyun District, one of the hardest-hit areas. Following a drop in water levels, engineering teams began overnight emergency repair work. Armed police units trekked into isolated villages such as Taotiaogou in Huairou District, where roads, power, and communication lines were destroyed. Rescuers rappelled down cliffs and navigated treacherous terrain to evacuate residents. "People on stretchers are those critically ill elderly individuals. Each step mattered. We carry them with extreme caution," said Wang Guojun, a member of the mobile unit of the Armed Police. Mountain torrents damaged multiple roads in the Liulimiao township, Huairou District, trapping residents in high-risk areas. Firefighters entered the area on foot overnight, setting up rope lines along the slippery cliff faces to assist with evacuations. As of 20:00 on Monday, 1,022 people had been relocated. Emergency teams also deployed drones to air-drop over 3,000 supply packages to 21 locations within the township. Shotlist: Miyun District, Beijing, China - July 28, 2025: 1.
