Rescue teams in Chongzuo City of south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region are working around the clock to clean up silt and debris and resume traffic flows on flood-hit sites after Typhoon Narra brought heavy rainfall and severe flooding.
In Ningming County, rising river levels have inundated low-lying areas and multiple towns, leading to road closures and disrupted transportation. A large amount of debris, including branches and twigs, was piled up on the water surface, prompting clearance operation Sunday night.
Residents in flooded neighborhoods have been evacuated to resettlement sites, while the local hydrological station recorded water levels exceeding warning thresholds by nearly seven meters.
Meanwhile, in neighboring Pingxiang County-level City, the impact of continuous heavy rain has resulted in flooding, landslides and road collapses.
Local authorities dispatched rescue teams to a national highway section where a landslide has occurred to clear debris and restore road function.
As the rain diminished and the flood gradually receded on Sunday, rescue teams carried out debris removal work on roads while conducting hazard inspections and epidemic disinfection of shops and public areas.

Israel threatened on Sunday to intensify the killing of Hamas officials and displace more Palestinians from areas of Gaza if kite, balloon and drone launches toward southern Israel continue.
The warning was issued in an official statement by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office and Defense Minister Israel Katz following a "security assessment".
"Israel warns Hamas that if the launches do not stop immediately, the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) will step up the killings of those responsible and displace people from areas from which kites, balloons and drones were launched," the statement said.
Ten kites have crossed from Gaza into Israel since Friday, according to Israel's state-owned Kan TV news. The report said the military intercepted a kite on Sunday, marking the first such interception since 2018.
The Israeli military said the kites carried no explosive materials and posed no danger to the public.
Before the Israeli military campaign began in 2023, militants in Gaza occasionally launched kites and balloons carrying incendiary materials that caused fires in the arid agricultural areas of southern Israel.
The warning comes as Israeli strikes in Gaza have continued despite an October 2025 U.S.-backed ceasefire.
At least 73,420 people have been killed in the Israeli attacks in Gaza since the war, sparked by the Hamas-led assault on southern Israel, began in October 2023. More than 1,286 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the truce took effect, according to Palestinian health officials.
