According to the report, ten people have been confirmed dead and two are still missing due to severe flooding and landslides triggered by torrential rains across Khánh Hòa Province. The devastation prompted Deputy Prime Minister Hồ Quốc Dũng, on a field inspection early yesterday, to order the immediate relocation of all residents in danger zones, insisting that evacuations must be completed yesterday to avoid further loss of life.
The report stated that Deputy PM toured the Đá Lố Bridge area in Vĩnh Phương commune, one of the province’s most heavily affected areas, where fast-moving floodwater and localized landslides have cut off three hamlets and trapped roughly 500 households. He said many families were still hesitant to leave, even as the water continued to rise.
The report added that provincial authorities said nearly 9,000 homes in 14 communes and wards had been inundated, with flood depths reaching up to 1.5 meters in parts of the north. Landslides were widespread, especially along mountainous passes and steep slopes.
In addition, this said flooding was the deadliest that occurred in Vietnam. Up to this time, the residents are still battling on how to recover their losses, their swept properties like their homes. What the residents observed was the flood that rose up so suddenly and they were caught unaware and unprepared. More than 1,890 households with over 6,500 people have now been evacuated.
