Several rivers in northern Vietnam have risen to alarming levels, said authorities.
HANOI – Severe floods are expected to inundate Vietnam’s north, including the capital Hanoi, government officials said, as the aftermath of typhoon Yagi, the most powerful storm to hit Asia so far this year, continues to extract a deadly toll.
Other northern areas, including the industrial hubs of Bac Giang and Thai Nguyen which host factories of several export-oriented multinationals including Samsung Electronics and Foxconn, are also facing severe flooding, state media reported. A 30-year-old bridge over the Red River in the northern province of Phu Tho collapsed on Sept 10, leaving eight missing, according to a statement from the provincial People’s Committee.
Using public loudspeakers commonly used to broadcast Communist propaganda in the past, officials warned residents of the capital’s riverside Long Bien district to be on alert for possible flooding, and to be ready to evacuate the area.
