Typhoon Maysak has caused severe flooding in southern China, leading to at least two confirmed deaths and the evacuation of tens of thousands of residents. Reports indicate that the storm inundated large areas in Guangxi province, with heavy rainfall causing breaches in local dams. The Chinese authorities have escalated their response to the situation, declaring the highest level of alert as floodwaters continue to threaten homes and infrastructure.
The extent of the flooding triggered a widespread emergency response, with nearly 50,000 individuals displaced by the deluge, although some reports suggest that the number of evacuees could be significantly higher, reaching up to 480,000. In the city of Nanning, emergency services are mobilizing to address the impacts of the storm, while local authorities are closely monitoring the situation in anticipation of additional severe weather predicted in the coming days.
