Flooding in Beijing, China, caused by Typhoon Doksuri, has caused 11 deaths in the city and 27 missing.
The rainfall, the heaviest recorded in Beijing in recent years, has affected more than 44,000 people and forced the evacuation of some 127,000 people in the Asian country.
The cities of Zhangjiakou, Chengde, Tangshan, Baoding and Xiong'an, near Beijing, have also been affected by heavy rainfall and forced to evacuate thousands of residents.
Because of impending floods, Chinese authorities have activated a red alert and warned of the risk of landslides, mudslides and other geological disasters caused by the rains.
Typhoon Doksuri has been battering China from southeast to north since last Friday, when it made landfall in the eastern province of Fujian with winds of 155 kilometers per hour, after hitting the Philippines, where it left at least 25 victims.
