Typhoon Feiyan has hit Japan, killing 11 people and injuring more than 600 people.

　　China news agency, Osaka, September 5 (Reporter Lu Shaowei) Typhoon Feiyan, the 21st this year, landed in the south of Tokushima Prefecture, Japan, and the Kansai region of Japan was obviously affected by the typhoon. According to the latest statistics of NHK TV on the 5th, the typhoon has caused 11 deaths and more than 600 injuries in Japan.

　　"Feiyan" was also designated by the Japan Meteorological Agency as the strongest typhoon that landed in Japan in the past 25 years. About 8 buildings were seriously damaged in the typhoon, and more than 1,700 buildings were partially damaged. According to the news of Kansai Electric Power Company of Japan, as of 7 pm, there are still about 350,000 households in Kansai.

　　In addition, according to Osaka police, the typhoon also damaged about 2,000 traffic lights, and all of them can return to normal in two or three days with the repair.

　　Affected by the pressure in the typhoon area, the tidal level in many sea areas has reached new highs, and the risk of seawater intrusion has increased. As one of the important transportation hubs in Kansai, an oil tanker was blown away by the wind and hit the airport contact bridge on the 4th, which made it impossible for vehicles to pass. About 3,000 passengers and hundreds of airport staff were forced to stay at the airport for one night, and they began to leave by boat one after another early on the 5th. The airport has been closed since the 4th. Due to the flooding of the airport runway and terminal building, some areas were blacked out, and it is uncertain when it can be reopened.

　　The reporter learned from the Consulate General of China in Osaka that as of the morning of the 5th, there were still about 2,650 passengers stranded in Kansai International Airport, including more than 750 from China. The Consulate General attached great importance to the response to the passenger detention incident, and quickly launched the emergency mechanism. On the morning of the 5th, it dispatched the first batch of working groups to the vicinity of Kansai International Airport to learn about the stranded passengers in China and coordinate the countermeasures with the Japanese side.

　　With the active coordination of the Consulate General, the Japanese side started the centralized transshipment of China passengers at 11: 30 a.m. on the 5th (originally planned at 8: 00 a.m., but postponed for some reason). As of 9: 00 pm local time, the Consulate General has assisted in transferring three groups of stranded China passengers to Osaka City, including the third group of 191 passengers. At present, a total of 551 passengers stranded in China at Kansai International Airport have been transferred.

　　At the same time, the Consulate General actively coordinated China Southern Airlines, Tianjin Airlines, Sichuan Airlines and other airlines, urging them to properly solve the needs of stranded passengers to return to China by changing their air tickets and increasing flights free of charge. (End)
