At least 13 people have died and more remain missing after days of torrential rains and flash flooding battered northern China, with the worst-hit areas including Inner Mongolia and the cities of Ordos and Bayannur, according to state-run media Xinhua.
The heavy downpours, part of a broader pattern of extreme weather across China since July, have caused rivers to burst their banks, washed away campers, and submerged roads and vehicles.
