The death toll in the flash flood in China has gone up to 34, Chinese state media reported on Tuesday. State broadcaster CCTV said that 28 people died in Beijing's hard-hit Miyun district and two others in Yanqing district as of midnight. Both are outlying parts of the sprawling city, far from the downtown.
More heavy rain fell overnight in the area. More than 80,000 people have been relocated in Beijing, including about 17,000 in Miyun, a CCTV online report said.
