Typhoon Maysak death toll in China's Guangxi rises to 159

The death toll from Typhoon Maysak and the resulting floods in China's Guangxi region has risen to 159, with 10 people still missing, according to a report by Mehr News Agency (MNA) on August 22.

The typhoon struck the region in early July, causing widespread destruction and triggering severe flooding. Rescue and relief operations have been ongoing, but the number of casualties has continued to climb as floodwaters recede and more affected areas become accessible.

Local authorities have been working to provide assistance to affected residents, including temporary shelter, food, and clean water. The floods have also caused significant damage to infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and agricultural land, impacting the livelihoods of many in the region.

The report did not specify the exact timeline of the casualties or the current status of the missing individuals. It also did not mention any international aid or specific government response measures beyond the ongoing relief efforts.

According to Mehr News Agency, the situation remains serious, and efforts to locate the missing and support the affected communities are continuing. The full extent of the damage is still being assessed.
