Over Thirty Reported Dead in Vietnam Flood Crisis
(MENAFN) Catastrophic flooding across Vietnam's central provinces has claimed 35 lives, left five individuals missing, and injured 60 others, according to the Vietnam Disaster and Dyke Management Authority on Sunday.
The deluge has devastated residential areas, leaving more than 16,500 homes underwater while damaging an additional 361 properties across the affected regions.
Agricultural losses have reached alarming levels, with floodwaters engulfing over 5,300 hectares of rice paddies and cropland. The disaster has also ravaged nearly 800 hectares of fruit orchards and killed or washed away upwards of 42,000 livestock and poultry, the authority reported.
Electricity infrastructure has suffered extensive damage, though power restoration efforts have reached most impacted zones. Approximately 75,000 households continue to experience blackouts.
In response to the emergency, Vietnam's government has authorized a relief package totaling 450 billion Vietnamese dong—equivalent to roughly 17.93 million U.S. dollars—to aid recovery operations in four central cities and provinces: Hue, Da Nang, Quang Tri, and Quang Ngai.
