Recently, the massive flooding in Henan Province has drawn global attention. The subsequent announcement of the rescue, death and injury toll and disaster conditions shook the hearts of millions of people.
On the afternoon of July 25th, Henan Province held a flood control emergency news conference. The conference stated that according to preliminary statistics, from July 16th to 25th, this round of heavy rainfall affected 139 counties (cities, districts) in Henan province. A total of 1464 townships and 11.45 million people were affected. 63 people died, and 5 people are missing.
According to official information from Zhengzhou, the rescue of Line 5 is now basically over.
Let's take a look at the rescue situation in the Jingguang Road tunnel. In the afternoon of July 20th, the tunnel was flooded in merely 5 minutes, and a large number of people were trapped in their vehicles. The authorities' handling of the situation was even more unacceptable. On the afternoon of July 21st, after most of those trapped have been submerged for nearly a day, authorities finally began pumping out the water. At that time, the depth of water accumulated in the Jingguang North Road Tunnel was about 13 meters.
On July 24th, rescue work for the Jingguang Road tunnel was wrapping up. The previous person in charge also told The Paper that in the Jingguang North Road tunnel, they found 265 cars, and there are only 4-5 cars remaining.
This is significantly different from the death toll reported by netizens on the Internet, and The Paper previously reported that there were thousands of vehicles flooded. The video shared by netizens shows that the tunnel entrance was flooded with a mountain of cars. The number of fatalities is estimated to be in the hundreds or even thousands based on the number of vehicles towed out.
But according to videos taken by netizens online, although the scene has been taken over by the military and put under martial law, a large number of people are still watching at the exit, waiting for news of their families. On the evening of July 23rd, near the Jingguang Road tunnel, the families of many victims mourned their loved ones in the streets.
At present, videos and information about the Jingguang Road tunnel have been banned from social media platforms such as WeChat and Weibo. Even the official Chinese media, CCTV, did not report the specific situation, and news of the flooding in Zhengzhou was buried by news of returning to a normal life. The "truth about the Jingguang Road Tunnel" is no longer available in the Chinese mainstream media.
A video circulating on the Internet shows that a number of foreign media reporters arriving in Zhengzhou, Xinxiang, and Hebi were stopped by "patriotic wolf warriors". Foreign journalists from Deutsche Welle, CNN, BBC, ABC Australia, and other foreign reporters in Henan were met with various so-called "civil" and "self-policing" attacks. In several clips circulating on the Internet, residents accuse foreign journalists of "selective reporting" and "deliberately smearing China '' the moment they see them.
Now that typhoon In-fa has landed in Zhejiang and Shanghai, the public attention will soon be diverted to the east coast, and perhaps the floods in Henan will no longer be a concern. The truth of what caused this major disaster and the real number of deaths may be a permanent state secret, just like many of the other facts covered up by the Chinese Communist Party.
