Vietnam floods leave at least 90 dead and 12 missing
Heavy rainfall in Vietnam has resulted in catastrophic floods, leaving at least 90 people dead and 12 missing. The floods, which began on Monday, have primarily impacted the central region of the country, including the provinces of Quang Tri and Hue.
Local authorities have been working tirelessly to rescue those affected by the floods, with emergency services evacuating residents from high-risk areas to safer locations. The Vietnamese government has deployed military personnel to assist with the search and rescue efforts, focusing on areas that have been cut off by the rising waters.
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has expressed his condolences to the families of the victims and has urged local authorities to prioritize the safety and well-being of residents. Phuc emphasized the importance of proactive measures to mitigate the impact of natural disasters in the future.
The flooding in Vietnam is not uncommon during the monsoon season, which typically lasts from October to March. However, this year’s floods have been particularly devastating, causing widespread damage to infrastructure, homes, and crops.
The Vietnamese government has stated that they will provide support to those affected by the floods, including financial assistance for rebuilding efforts. The focus remains on ensuring the safety of residents and restoring normalcy in the affected regions.
