In August 2024, massive floods hit China's Henan, Shaanxi, and Sichuan provinces, affecting millions of people. In Henan, rivers rose sharply, destroying many bridges and roads. In Shaanxi, the floods caused massive landslides that blocked roads and cut off entire villages from the outside world. In Sichuan, thousands of people were forced to flee their homes due to the threat of flooding and collapsed buildings. The 2024 floods were among the most devastating in the region in decades. The Chinese government mobilized thousands of rescue workers and soldiers to help victims and evacuate people from disaster areas. Local authorities in Henan province said the floods had caused billions of yuan in damage, destroying crops and farms. In Shaanxi, evacuations were complicated by impassable roads and difficult logistics, which slowed the aid effort. In Sichuan, floods damaged hydroelectric power plants, causing power outages in several areas.
