Jul 8, 2024, 05:47 AM
In China's Hunan Province, the Dongting Lake embankment in Yueyang City, Huarong County, collapsed, causing significant flooding. The breach, which occurred on the first line of the embankment, measured 10 meters in width. The collapse has imperiled the second defense line, prompting urgent measures by authorities. The incident has led to multiple piping issues, and authorities plan to close the gap by noon on Tuesday. In response to the crisis, the Chinese Communist Party has banned individuals from releasing messages to the outside world. This event is part of the broader climate crisis affecting central China.
