Terrible floods in China’s north province, Hebei, have brought enormous destruction and sadness as China floods kill 29 people, and 16 others are missing. A big storm, left by a typhoon, has wreaked havoc in the province leading to flooding. These floods are very different from anything seen in the last 140 years, causing huge damage to the area.

The floods, caused by what was left of a typhoon, have done terrible things. It’s been a long time since there was so much heavy rain. This sad event has led to a lot of rescue work as teams try to find the 16 people who are missing. They’re working hard, but every day that goes by makes it less likely to find them.

The floods have caused problems for the economy as well. They’ve damaged things a lot, and it’s thought to cost about $13.2 billion (about 95.8 billion yuan). This is a lot of money! The floods broke over 40,000 houses, and many crops were ruined too.

Recovery Will Take Time: Building Again

It’s going to take a long time for Hebei to get better. They think it might take around two years to fix everything. This is because there’s been so much damage. Not only houses were damaged, but also things that produce electricity and let them talk to each other. A lot of people, about 1.75 million, have had to leave their homes because of the floods.

Even though things are very hard, the government is doing its best to help. They’re working on fixing the broken things, like cables for electricity, so everyone can return home or have a new one before winter.

Big Weather Changes: Making Things Worse

The floods are part of a bigger problem. There’s been very hot weather for a while, making things worse. Scientists say that climate change is making these kinds of disasters more likely. The floods came after a time of really hot weather. This shows us how important it is to take care of our planet.

It’s not just Hebei that’s having problems. There’s bad weather in other places too. There’s been heavy rain in the southwest places like Sichuan and Yunnan and in the northwest places like Gansu and Qinghai.

The world has seen a lot of loss because of these floods. In Sichuan, seven people died because of a flood in the Longxi River. And in Gansu, five people lost their lives after a rainstorm.

This is a sad time for Hebei and other places affected by the floods. As the China floods kill 29 in Hebei, it has caused much pain and damage. But people are helping each other, and the government is working hard too. Let’s remember that our planet needs our help too. By taking care of it, we can stop more disasters like this from happening again.
