Recent reports from Vietnam indicate that the death toll from Typhoon Yagi and subsequent heavy rain has risen to 87, with 70 individuals still missing and hundreds more injured. Typhoon Yagi, the most powerful storm to hit Vietnam in decades, made landfall over the weekend with winds reaching up to 149 kph (92 mph). While the typhoon weakened on Sunday, relentless downpours persisted, exacerbating the situation.
According to Vietnamese state broadcaster VTV, the confirmed death toll stands at 87, with the majority of fatalities attributed to flooding and landslides. The Red River, which flows through the capital city of Hanoi, has reached dangerous water levels, prompting authorities to evacuate families residing in close proximity to the river.
