Typhoon Doksuri has continued to wreak havoc across northern China, with days of severe rainfall across Beijing and the neighbouring Hubei province leaving entire cities inundated with flood water. At least 21 people have been killed and an estimated 30 are missing across the affected region.

Beijing recorded 74.48cm (29.3in) of rain between Saturday and Wednesday, the Beijing meteorological bureau said on Wednesday, the heaviest rain since records began almost 140 years ago. The city of Zhouzhou in the Hubei province, south-west of Beijing, is one of the worst-hit cities. Footage on state media showed rescue workers using rubber boats to pass throughout submerged streets to help people stranded by the floods. President Xi Jinping has urged rescue workers to make 'every effort' to help people affected by the storm.
