A flash flood in northern China's Inner Mongolia region has resulted in at least 10 deaths and two people still missing. The incident occurred on Saturday night when a river near Bayannur city overflowed, sweeping away a group of 13 campers. One person was rescued, and a large-scale search and rescue effort is currently underway.

Widespread Flooding Across China
This deadly event is the latest in a series of extreme weather incidents affecting China since July, with the East Asian monsoon causing unusually heavy rainfall in both northern and southern regions. Weather experts attribute the shifting patterns to climate change.

Beijing: Late last month, a deadly downpour in the capital killed at least 44 people and forced the evacuation of over 70,000 residents.

Sichuan: Severe weather at a beer festival in Mianzhu resulted in the deaths of two people on Friday.

Hainan: A three-and-a-half-month fishing suspension was lifted in the southern province after persistent heavy rain forced ships to stay in port.

In response to the widespread disaster, the Chinese government has allocated at least 5.8 billion yuan ($807 million USD) in total funding for disaster relief since April. The government announced an additional 430 million yuan ($59.9 million USD) last week to aid ongoing relief efforts.
