CHANGCHUN -- Eighteen people have died and another 18 remain
missing after floods in China's northeastern city of Jilin, local authorities
said Monday.
Heavy rain in the central and eastern parts of Jilin Province on
Thursday and Friday left much of the province inundated.
The city of Jilin was severely flooded and more than 110,000 people had
to be relocated, according to the city flood control and drought relief office.
A 32,360-strong search and rescue team has been deployed in the city to
remove the sludge and debris, repair bridges, and reconnect households to
telecommunications and electricity networks. (Xinhua)
