A flash flood has caused a devastating impact at a campsite in north China, resulting in the deaths of eight individuals and the disappearance of four others, as reported by state media on Sunday.
The disaster struck late Saturday night in Urad Rear Banner, a widely frequented mountainous campsite area in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Initially, thirteen campers were unaccounted for. By Sunday morning, rescue teams had saved one person and recovered eight bodies, as per the official Xinhua news agency.
The search for the remaining four missing campers continues amid ongoing recovery efforts. This incident is part of a disturbing trend of severe weather events in northern China, including fatal floods in the Gansu province earlier this month, and unprecedented rainfall in regions such as Hong Kong.
