Typhoon Gaemi

Published on: 29 July, 2024

The remnants of Typhoon Gaemi will dump heavy rainfall on cities and rivers in the central and Northern region of China.

At least 11 people were killed on Sunday due to a rain-triggered landslide in China’s central Hunan province, as heavy rains from what remained of a tropical storm drenched the region, state media said.

The landslide, which hit the Yuelin village in the city of Hengyang washed away part of a residential house.

The deaths were the first in China that appear linked to Typhoon Gaemi, which weakened to a tropical storm after making landfall on Thursday.

Before reaching China, the typhoon intensified monsoon rains in the Philippines, leaving at least 34 dead, and swept across the island of Taiwan, where the death toll has risen to 10, authorities said late Saturday.
