BEIJING: Authorities evacuated nearly 300,000 people and suspended public transport across eastern China on Friday (July 26), as Typhoon Gaemi brought torrential rains already responsible for five deaths in nearby Taiwan.
Gaemi was the strongest typhoon to hit Taiwan in eight years when it made landfall on on July 25, flooding parts of the island’s second-biggest city.
