Sharjah 24 – WAM: Chinese authorities have evacuated more than 600,000 people from Zhejiang and Fujian provinces as Typhoon Bavi approaches the country's eastern coast, where it is expected to make landfall near the city of Wenzhou early Sunday.

According to state media, more than 500,000 residents were evacuated from Zhejiang Province and over 100,000 from Fujian Province as a precaution ahead of the storm.

Although Typhoon Bavi is gradually weakening, authorities warned it continues to pose a significant threat due to the heavy rainfall expected to accompany it.
