China, Aug 9 (EFE).- Last week's torrential rains that struck parts of China have led to a death toll of at least 33 people in Beijing, according to official media reports on Wednesday.

The Beijing Daily said that as of Aug.8, 18 people, including an emergency rescue worker, remain missing in the Chinese capital after Typhoon Doksuri battered northern China.

The unprecedented rainfall caused widespread devastation, primarily through flooding, in several cities.

The catastrophe affected nearly 1.29 million people, resulting in the collapse of 59,000 houses, with an additional 147,000 residential structures being severely damaged. (Camera: HANDOUT).
