At least 26 people were injured in the typhoon in Hong Kong.

At least 26 people were injured due to typhoon Vifa in Hong Kong. This was reported by the Reuters news agency on July 20.

It is reported that as of 16.00 today (11.00 Moscow time), 16 men and 10 women applied to the emergency departments of public hospitals during the typhoon.

It is noted that the typhoon has now weakened to a tropical storm.

"Compared to previous typhoons like Mangkhut and Hato, which caused much more amazing destruction, this time the impact was mostly limited to fallen trees and collapsed scaffolding," Eastern District councilor Kenny Yuen told Reuters.

Ferry services, buses, metro, and railway services are gradually resuming in different parts of the city.

Earlier in the day, Hong Kong authorities issued a high-level storm warning due to the approaching hurricane. About 500 flights were cancelled due to the weather conditions. Local authorities have suspended classes in schools and kindergartens.

All important news is on the Izvestia channel in the MAX messenger.
