Rescuers on Thursday stepped up their efforts to evacuate thousands of students stranded at a flood-hit education park in the city of Guigang, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region with powered pontoon bridges, after days of torrential rainfall inundated multiple schools there.
The flooding, triggered by torrential rain that began on Monday under the shadow of Typhoon Maysak, flooded parts of the education park, where several schools were severely affected.
By Thursday, floodwaters have reached the depths of 6 to 7 meters in the worst-hit areas, while even the shallowest sections left the ground floors of teaching buildings submerged.
Power and water supplies were cut off at multiple schools, and internet connectivity remained unstable, leaving more than 10,000 students stranded inside the education park.
Rescue teams have delivered emergency supplies, including drinking water, food and medicines, to the affected students.
Meanwhile, more than 40 professional and volunteer rescue teams have joined the relief operation, according to local authorities.
As of Thursday, an estimated 6,000 to 7,000 students still need to be evacuated, and rescue workers are planning to complete the evacuation later in the day by using powered pontoon bridges and rescue boats.
