Vietnam faces severe flooding and landslides across multiple regions

flooding landslides search and rescue infrastructure damage Vietnam weather

Heavy rainfall and flooding across Vietnam have caused significant casualties and infrastructure damage. In Quang Tri province, authorities recovered the body of Ho Thi Lieu, a 50-year-old woman, after she was swept away by floodwaters in Dan Hoa commune. The search operation involved border guards, police, and local residents, concluding approximately 20 hours after she went missing.

The severe weather in Quang Tri also triggered landslides on National Highway 9C and caused flooding on National Highway 9B, cutting off several villages and damaging agricultural land.

In Ho Chi Minh City, intense rain has paralyzed traffic and inundated residential areas in districts like Go Vap and Thu Duc. Residents in Thu Duc continue to face flood risks due to the current state of the Thu Duc canal, which requires renovation to improve drainage. Meanwhile, in Hanoi, officials are managing the long-term challenge of resettling hundreds of households in the flood-prone Trung Gia commune, where a 14-hectare resettlement area has been approved to provide safer housing and sustainable livelihoods.
