Residents took to social media to seek assistance as lakes and rivers overflowed and water and electricity were cut. Outside help was not arriving and residents were relying on themselves, those postings said. Water, electricity and gas supplies were also cut and more than 40 temporary sites were set up in the city to provide clean water.
The rains in Henan will start to weaken on Thursday night, according to the China Meteorological Administration.
