Zhengzhou Henan: 12 dead and thousands evacuated in China floods

Massive floods in central China caused by record-breaking rainfall have left 12 people dead and more than 100,000 evacuated from their homes.

More than a dozen cities in Henan province, including its provincial capital Zhengzhou, are affected.

Footage circulating online shows people wading in chest-high levels of water on roads and at train stations.

President Xi Jinping said on Wednesday the "flood prevention situation was very severe" and at a "critical stage".

He added that the floods had already resulted in "significant loss of life and damage to property", and instructed all departments to prioritise "the safety of people and their property", according to state news agency Xinhua.

Henan province, home to about 94 million people, has issued its highest level of weather warning. Local authorities called the floods a "once in 100 years" event.

Some 700 passengers in Zhengzhou are also said to have been trapped on a train for at least 40 hours, according to local media reports. They were reportedly provided food at first but this is now said to be in low supply.

The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou Hospital also briefly lost power on Tuesday night, though this has now been restored, said a statement on Weibo by the Zhengzhou Municipal Party Committee.

It added that 600 critically ill patients had been transferred to another location.
