Summary
20,000 state relief items and 27,000 privately coordinated supplies were dispatched to Guangxi on Sunday to support residents displaced by Typhoon Narra flooding.
Narra has battered parts of Guangxi since August 21, driving up water levels and inundating low-lying areas in places including Shangsi county in Fangchenggang.
The shipments include folding beds, quilts, blankets, rain gear, bottled water, instant noodles, bread and family emergency kits for evacuation sites and temporary shelters.
Local authorities have carried out large-scale evacuations, with no casualties reported so far as crews work to clear storm damage and restore normal life.
China has activated Level-IV emergency responses in Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan as Narra poses the most immediate threat in a rare three-typhoon setup that also includes Saudel and Gaenari.
