Rongjiang County in Guizhou Province, southwest China, activated emergency protocols after a severe flood struck on June 28, displacing over 40,000 residents. Authorities swiftly established temporary shelters, with the largest facility now housing thousands while providing essential supplies and medical services.
Local officials emphasized coordinated relief efforts, including round-the-clock security, sanitation teams, and psychological support for displaced families. \"We prioritized vulnerable groups like children and the elderly, ensuring access to nutrition and hygiene products,\" said a disaster management coordinator during a site inspection by CGTN.
The shelter features partitioned living areas, charging stations, and educational activities for children. Medical teams conduct daily health checks, while social workers help reconnect separated families. Despite challenges posed by continuous rainfall, relief operations continue with support from neighboring regions.
