Firefighters brave floodwaters to rescue trapped residents in south China's Guangdong

Firefighters in south China's Guangdong Province carried out multiple rescue operations on Monday as heavy rains triggered flash floods across several cities, leaving residents stranded in rising waters.

Since Sunday, large swathes of the province, including Shenzhen, Dongguan, Huizhou and Shanwei, have been battered by intense rainfall, with heavy to torrential downpours.

In response, the provincial authorities raised its flood emergency response to Level II within 24 hours, with more than 100 counties and districts activating emergency protocols.
