A total of 599,300 residents have been evacuated from risky offshore and onshore areas in southeast China's Fujian Province as of Friday night due to recent persistent torrential rain, according to the provincial flood control and drought relief headquarters. Several provincial departments in Fujian have urgently allocated 210 million yuan (about $31 million) for emergency rescue, disaster relief and post-disaster recovery in hard-hit areas. Typhoon Saudel, the 18th typhoon of 2026, made its third landfall in Zhangpu County under the city of Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, on Thursday morning, prompting tens of thousands of people to be evacuated amid warnings of strong winds and heavy downpours. Saudel has also affected 128,500 residents in 53 counties in the neighboring province of Jiangxi and forced the emergency evacuation of nearly 8,700 people there. 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgr
