S044-CHINA UN MILLON DE EVACUADOS LLEGADA TIFON BAVI

STORY: China evacuated more than 1.8 million people on Saturday (July 11) as Typhoon Bavi churned toward the major eastern city of Wenzhou after pummelling Japan's southern Sakishima island chain with heavy rain and violent winds brushing past northern Taiwan.

Some emergency workers assisted residents in boarding buses which transported them to shelters. Other officials were pictured clearing debris from the roads and carrying out other necessary emergency operations.

State media said more than 1.7 million people had been evacuated across Zhejiang province, where Wenzhou is located, and more than 100,000 in neighbouring Fujian province.

Bavi is forecast to make landfall around Wenzhou, home to some 10 million people, early on Sunday (July 12).
