Flash flood in Gansu, China kills 10 and injures 23
On 26 July 2026 a sudden mountain flash flood struck a popular camping area in Shuangshimen, Gansu (north‑west China). Ten people were killed, 23 were injured and about 174 campers were rescued after being trapped by fast‑moving water.
Chinese emergency services, including police, fire and rescue units, were dispatched to the scene. Local authorities began investigations into the cause of the torrent and coordinated medical care for the victims. The disaster coincided with Typhoon Noul, which battered Guangdong province, prompting a level‑IV emergency response and a central‑government allocation of 100 million yuan (≈US$14.7 million) for relief and reconstruction. Indonesia’s BMKG also issued an early warning for storm surges in West Nusa Tenggara from 26 July to 1 August, underscoring the broader regional weather threat.
