New Zealand's national secondary schools choir has been stranded in China by a typhoon.
The 60 members of the NZ Secondary Students Choir were due to leave Shanghai on Saturday after taking part in a Belt and Road World Choir Festival in Hong Kong, but their flights were among hundreds of flights cancelled by Typhoon Ampil.
China's Xinhua news agency said more than 190,000 people in the Shanghai Municipality have been relocated to safer places as Ampil, the 10th typhoon this year, approaches.
An overnight update on the choir's Facebook page said: "We have managed to get about 15 on alternative flights from Shanghai so far. Hoping tomorrow will bring good news."
