A flash flood swept a Gansu scenic area where tourists were camping, killing 10 and injuring 23, and Beijing sent a work team the same evening

Ten people are dead.

The flash flood hit a scenic area in Weiyuan County, in Dingxi City, Gansu province, on Sunday afternoon. The count of 10 dead and 23 injured is the figure local authorities gave as of 6 p.m. local time, which is 6 a.m. Sunday in New York, reported by the state news agency Xinhua. Xinhua says the flood was triggered by sudden heavy rainfall and that some of the people caught in it were tourists camping in the area when the water burst out. Rescue crews were still searching.

Beijing moved the same evening. The office of the State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters and the Ministry of Emergency Management sent a work team to Gansu on Sunday to guide local relief efforts, and the headquarters activated a Level IV flood prevention emergency response for the province, the ministry said in a second Xinhua report. The ministry put 305 rescue personnel and 68 vehicles from the national comprehensive fire and rescue teams at the site. China runs a four-tier emergency response system in which Level I is the most severe, so this is the lowest of the four.

One easy confusion is worth heading off. China's Ministry of Water Resources activated a separate Level IV flood-control response on Saturday covering Fujian, Jiangxi, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong and Guangxi, and that one is about the rainfall from Typhoon Noul. Gansu is not among those seven provinces and the two activations are not the same event.

Two figures circulating on Sunday are deliberately left out. Several search summaries paired this flood with a count of 33 people missing, which traces to a different flash flood in northern China in August 2025 rather than to Weiyuan County. A rescue total of 174 people appears in wire copy that this desk could reach only as a paywalled summary, so it is not carried as fact.

There is no linkable primary document behind this item. The Ministry of Emergency Management's account is quoted directly above, but the ministry's own news indexes at mem.gov.cn returned nothing on the Gansu flood to this desk on Sunday morning, and the State Council's English site carries only the separate typhoon activation. Every figure here therefore rests on the two credited Xinhua reports, each attributed to the authority that gave it.

Where we read it: Xinhua.

The document: No public filing has been released.
