英语新闻丨All-out relief efforts underway in flood-hit regio
Description
All-out disaster relief and rescue operations are underway in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province as torrential rainfall wreaked havoc in northern China since the beginning of the week, damaging roads, disrupting power and water supplies, and prompting mass evacuation.
自本周初以来,中国北方地区遭遇了持续的强降雨,造成了严重的破坏,导致道路损毁、电力和供水系统中断,并引发了大规模的疏散行动。目前,北京、天津和河北省正在全力开展救灾和救援工作。
As of Tuesday evening, the death toll from severe downpours in Beijing was 30, with 28 deaths reported in the city's mountainous Miyun district and two in Yanqing district, while eight more people died in Hebei, where a landslide struck Luanping county, according to local authorities.
截至周二晚间,北京因强降雨造成的死亡人数已达30人,其中位于山区的密云区有28人死亡,延庆区有2人死亡,而河北省也有8人丧生,该省的滦平县发生山体滑坡事故。此数据由当地有关部门提供。
The rainstorm alert in Beijing, where 80,332 people were moved to safety, was canceled on Tuesday as the rain bands weakened and shifted eastward. The city, however, remains on its highest level of flood-control emergency response.
北京的暴雨警报已于周二解除,当时有80332人已被转移至安全地带。由于雨带减弱并向东移动,该警报得以取消。不过,该市仍处于最高级别的防洪应急响应状态。
Vice-Premier Zhang Guoqing, who has been entrusted by President Xi Jinping to oversee relief and rescue efforts in Beijing, led relevant department officials on Monday night to Miyun, where they met and consoled affected residents and guided flood prevention and disaster relief work.
周一晚上,国务院副总理被习总书记委以重任,率领相关部门官员前往密云,与受灾居民会面并给予他们安慰,同时指导了防洪和救灾工作。
Zhang emphasized that during the crucial period for flood control, special attention should be paid to vulnerable groups including the elderly, the ailing, and people with disabilities, ensuring their safe relocation. It is important to scientifically manage the flow and discharge of floodwaters and make every effort to minimize disaster losses, he added.
张强调,在防汛的关键时期,应特别关注老年人、患病者和残疾人群体,确保他们能够安全转移。他还指出,要科学管理洪水的流动和排放,尽一切努力减少灾害损失。
The maximum rainfall across entire Beijing was registered in two Miyun towns at 543 millimeters, with nearly 17,000 residents relocated in Miyun district as of Tuesday morning, according to the Beijing municipal government.
