the consequences for the people here will be unimaginable we've all been through life and death some people listen to the government and always argue that people need to think about the bigger picture they just haven't come to this point this point in time when they must face the question of life and death foreign although images of rescue efforts have dominated the ccp's media coverage of the flooding many of the videos show that people in the affected areas feel that the government's efforts have been far from adequate 2002 these emergency vehicles have been parked here since 7 A.M in the morning they don't go to rescue rescue my butt what's the point of having them here you're needed at the Riverside why is there no one at the Riverside you just wait here when the water recedes

people affected by the disaster many young and middle-aged men from all over the country especially in the surrounding areas organized rescue teams on their own initiative some of them made it to draw Dro but then heard that their own town was also flooded I came here to rescue two days ago I learned that our village was flooded and disappeared flooded or not so be it they're all just worldly possessions here we need donations of supplies whether it's water or rice please donate to our civil rescue teams directly don't donate to the government for various businesses if you want to donate donate to this kind of folk Rescue Team I mean those rescue teams are mostly made up of volunteers the good people who donate don't donate to the wrong place the folk rescue teams are mostly from out of town they aren't familiar with the road conditions Here and Now short of water oil and rice there were also some out of town non-government rescue teams who rushed to draw Joe but they were stopped at the highway intersection because they didn't have the government invitation letter in her Bay Province some Road intersections have been blocked allowing no entry or exit in other words people can't get out of the flooded areas and civil rescue teams can't get in in addition to draw Joe many other cities and areas in herbe Province are under heavy flooding due to reservoirs discharging and dams opening to release flood waters but you met him down thank you this is I'm in the middle of a bridge showing you this farmland or this Quarry is basically flooded so are the trees the reservoir is discharging and there is a sea of water here I think the reservoir is still releasing flood water thank you a well-known Water Conservancy expert in Germany said in an interview with overseas Chinese media on August 2nd that the floods in her Bay this year were worse than those in Beijing the floods in Rojo were diverted from the floods in Juma river which came from the flood of the function District in Beijing go home [Music] this expert said that the first thing the CCP does is to protect Beijing and likewise Tianjin but only the main urban area of Tianjin not the suburbs of Tianjin not the peasants and now it also includes the newly built Shang on new area which is the focus of its protection he explained that leaving peasants unprotected has always been the ccp's unspoken rule when it comes to flood control design for example along this section of the yangding river in Beijing are golf courses and the CCP claims something about protecting fertile land and farmland but in fact the golf courses cover a massive amount of land If there really is a need to discharge flood water the choice should be to flood those golf courses that have no housing and no risk to human life they can then be repaired After the flood is over and the loss will be less than that of flooding peasants homes Professor Wong added it is absolutely certain that Beijing is discharging flood water it has taken measures to divert the flood and the main reason for of the diversion is to reduce the downstream pressure and to safeguard the xiangon new area in fact at a time when so many parts of Hobe Province have suffered such major flooding many people have indeed been searching for the shanghon new area which is close to Beijing and located in her Bay Province the Search terms they use were Shanghai new area flooded by heavy rain and then the results that come up is that it's virtually intact netizens wrote bluntly that the floods were all borne by other Villages Wong also explained that floods under the CCP usually have two disasters happening at the same time one is flooding and the other is water logging which is caused by poor Drainage Systems in the city this time the flood situation in the two districts of Beijing is an exact consequence of such two disasters coming together video shows that the flood in beijing's Mento GAO district rosefast and almost submerged the traveling Vehicles some owners climbed on the roof of the vehicle and flowed with the water some pushed the cars along and the rolling flood waters Swept Away some some netizens revealed the mentogao district had cut up the internet to prevent live streaming because hundreds of people had lost their lives during this flood it terrified attention everyone the situation is very serious now get ready to evacuate anytime now Beijing is about to divert the blood if you have relatives and friends go to them those who haven't evacuated hurry up and evacuate so many vehicles wow so many of them now and that's only half of the palm oil this is the flood zone do you see so many buses more than 70 almost 100 buses even school buses are put to use yes the school buses are being used how many people must be taken away in the face of torrential rain and flood Chinese people are obviously treated as different classes Chinese netizens wrote angrily Beijing only cares about discharging flood water the flood discharge has flooded half of drawdrow is the life of people in draw not a life does Beijing have to be so selfish the flood relief team isn't even there let alone arranging the evacuation Beijing people's lives are lives but Herbie people's lives aren't lives however when searching for flood notification online most Mainland media reported that villagers said many people didn't take the flood notification seriously how can it be B here citizens were notified in the early hours of August 2nd that a major river was at risk of bursting its banks and residents and lower line areas were asked to evacuate quickly the sudden announcement made people panic and the roads were crowded with vehicles it looked like an apocalyptic Exodus 2 A.M at night The Great Escape has begun so many vehicles [Music] it's now 1am in the morning the location is baiko they notified everyone to evacuate in the direction where I'm pointing is the riverbank of the baigle it's a bridge or these areas where people can see the vapor or water the neighborhood is jammed and people are seeking places three stories high or higher to live temporary notice was given that those living below the third floor were to be evacuated and that's what the current situation is on this Escape Route the highway toll booths are still going from Total toll before releasing the traffic resulting in long lines of vehicles the management responded we haven't received any notice from upper levels [Music] thank you [Music] thank you [Music] foreign [Music] foreign
