The death toll from landslides in southeastern China has increased to 16 after another body was found in areas affected by heavy rains in Jiangxi province. This update was shared by state media on Thursday. The landslides occurred in three towns within Suichuan county, where heavy rains persisted for several days following the arrival of Typhoon Saudel on China's east coast. In Gaoping town, a mudslide led to 13 deaths, according to a report by state broadcaster CCTV. Two more bodies were discovered in Zuo’an town, and one in Tanghu town. Over 18,000 people have been evacuated from Suichuan County, as reported by the official Xinhua News Agency. In addition to the deaths in Jiangxi, two more people were killed in neighboring Hunan province due to rains linked to the typhoon, according to previous reports from state media. While the cause of the deaths was not specified in the CCTV report, it was noted that the heavy rain had triggered landslides and other related disasters. Typhoon Saudel made landfall twice in Zhejiang province on August 28 and then again as a tropical storm in Fujian province on September 3. Jiangxi and Hunan provinces, where the landslides occurred, are inland and located away from the coastal provinces of Zhejiang and Fujian. The heavy rainfall from the typhoon has caused significant damage across multiple regions, highlighting the vulnerability of inland areas to extreme weather events. Authorities continue to monitor the situation and provide assistance to affected communities.
