FUZHOU/SHENYANG, July 29 (Xinhua) -- Typhoon Gaemi, the third typhoon of this year, has caused flooding and damage to parts of China, including eastern Fujian Province and northeastern Liaoning Province.
The typhoon has affected 766,900 residents in Fujian Province, resulting in direct economic losses exceeding 1.6 billion yuan (about 224.35 million U.S. dollars).

By Sunday morning, Fujian had evacuated 312,700 people from hazardous areas and dispatched 2,763 rescue teams involving 69,400 people and 15,600 pieces of equipment, to carry out emergency rescue work.
The typhoon has caused heavy rainfall in many parts of Fujian, with 17 rivers experiencing flooding from Thursday to Sunday.
All power grid failures caused by the typhoon have been resolved, and the telecommunication network remains stable.
