In China, particularly during the summer months, there are regular landslides and floods.
At least one house in Hunan Province, specifically in Yuelin village, suffered significant damage due to the falling debris during the recent landslide. Despite the ongoing rescue operations in Central China, at least six individuals from the region have been reported injured in the incident. Moreover, the frequent occurrence of such incidents, like floods and landslides, has seen Central China's provinces, such as Hunan, preparing bags filled with essential supplies for potential evacuation needs.
