Relief efforts underway after heavy rainfall in China's Fujian

A drone photo taken on Sept. 5, 2026 shows a villager clearing mud from a yard in Xiagao Village of Huating Town in Putian, southeast China's Fujian Province. As heavy rainfall caused by Typhoon Saudel in Putian concluded on Saturday, floodwaters gradually receded in inundated areas of this city. Local authorities have since shifted to post-disaster recovery, undertaking tasks including water and power restoration, sanitation and disinfection, as well as the resettlement of affected residents.
