More than 20,000 people were evacuated after a landslide hit Danba county in China’s southwestern province of Sichuan province on June 17, 2020. Heavy rain in the area triggered mudslides and flooding that trapped at least 14 people who were later rescued. A search was under way for two people still missing after the disaster, which also created a barrier lake that threatens more than a dozen villages downstream.
