A devastating flash flood in northern Vietnam has resulted in the tragic loss of 22 lives, with dozens more individuals still unaccounted for. The catastrophe occurred in Lang Nu hamlet, located in Lao Cai province, where a torrent of water cascaded down from a mountain, burying the entire hamlet under mud and debris. As of now, only a few survivors have been found, while rescue teams continue their efforts to locate approximately 70 missing individuals.
The flash flood is part of the aftermath of Typhoon Yagi, which has caused a total of 141 fatalities in the region. Additionally, 69 people remain missing, and hundreds have sustained injuries. The majority of deaths have been attributed to floods and landslides, particularly in the northwestern Lao Cai province, where Lang Nu is situated.
