Rescuers search for victims at the site of the landslide in Shanzao Village of Yantan Township in Yongjia, east China's Zhejiang Province, Aug. 11, 2019. A total of 32 people died and 16 remain missing after Lekima, the ninth and strongest typhoon of the year, landed around 1:45 a.m. Saturday in the city of Wenling in eastern China's Zhejiang Province, the provincial flood control headquarters said. Most of the deaths occurred in Yongjia County, administered by Wenzhou City, where torrential downpours caused a landslide that blocked a river. The barrier lake burst and flooded waters swept people away. (Xinhua/Han Chuanhao)
