Severe flooding in China’s north has displaced almost 2 million people following a week of torrential rain

Damage has been reported in around 70 districts, with reports of mudslides and collapsing houses.

Meanwhile, authorities say heavy rainfall is making rescue efforts difficult.

120-thousand people have been transferred and resettled and 17-thousand homes have collapsed.

Local media also says four police officers died as a result of a landslide in the region.

This all follows extreme rains in the Henan province just three months ago which claimed 300 lives.
