China is launching an investigation into the catastrophic floods in July in the central province of Henan as provincial authorities on August 2, 2021, revised the death toll upwards to 302. Among the fatalities were 292 who died in the provincial capital Zhengzhou after the area was hit by torrential rains on July 17. The new figure is three times the 99 dead reported on July 29.
A mechanic in China’s Henan province has been hailed a hero for rescuing 71 people aboard two buses that became stranded during the July floods in the city of Gongyi. Liu Songfeng from a nearby town used a bulldozer to ferry the passengers to safety.
The city of Zhengzhou in Central China's Henan Province has recorded the heaviest rainfall in 60 years.
