Flooding in southern China caused by Tropical Storm Maysak has killed 39 people, according to authorities, with multiple outlets reporting the death toll as 39. The fatalities are attributed to severe flooding linked to the storm’s impact across the region.
Al Jazeera reports that authorities evacuate about 130,000 people in the Guangxi region, where flooding and related hazards prompt large-scale movement of residents. It also says thousands of rescuers are deployed to carry out response and relief operations.
Other coverage from ABC News and The Independent similarly cites the confirmed death toll of 39, indicating the figure is consistent across reporting. The articles describe an ongoing emergency response focused on search and rescue and protecting people in affected areas as waters and storm-related risks continue to affect parts of southern China.
