Emergency rescue and relief operations are continuing after torrential rain and widespread flooding brought by Typhoon Doksuri pounded many regions of north and northeast China since late last week. 

Six people have been killed and four remain missing after heavy rain battered the city of Shulan in northeast China's Jilin Province, local authorities said Saturday night.

As of Saturday noon, nine reservoirs exceeding flood limits in the city had maintained proper discharge. The current round of rainfall has now basically ended. A total of 18,916 people have been evacuated, with 21 temporary relocation facilities established. Also, rescue forces have restored functionality of 85 electricity and 26 telecommunication facilities.

Shulan had been experiencing continuous rainy weather since Tuesday night. As of 3:00 p.m. Friday, the average daily precipitation had reached 111.7 mm.

Floodwater has retreated in the worst-hit Zhuozhou City of north China's Hebei Province. Now, the focus is to drain heavily flooded important public infrastructure such as hospitals and large residential areas. 

Meanwhile, electricity and communication facilities are under emergency repair. As of 7:00 a.m. Sunday, power supply was restored to the 93 residential communities in Zhuozhou which was cut off due to the disaster. 

Chinese authorities on Sunday earmarked an additional 350 million yuan (about $50 million) to assist the flood-hit regions of Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and also provinces in northeast China. 

So far, the central government has allocated 520 million yuan in central natural disaster relief funds to the above-mentioned regions, according to the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Emergency Management.
