On the morning of September 23, speaking with Dan Viet reporter, Mr. Ngan Van Lon, Chairman of Trung Ly Commune People's Committee, Muong Lat District, Thanh Hoa Province, said that the commune had just worked with units of Muong Lat District People's Committee to urgently evacuate 214 boarding students of Trung Ly Secondary School for Ethnic Minorities to a safe place due to landslides, threatening the safety of the students.

On the afternoon of September 22, the People's Committee of Trung Ly commune and functional forces urgently evacuated all students to a safe place.

Also according to Mr. Lon, due to the heavy rains that have lasted for many days in Muong Lat in the past few days, a large amount of rock and soil has collapsed into the boarding house (including 15 dormitory rooms) of Trung Ly Secondary School for Ethnic Minorities, Trung Ly Commune, Muong Lat District, Thanh Hoa Province. Immediately after inspecting and learning about the incident, the commune quickly reported to the People's Committee of Muong Lat District and urgently evacuated all students to a safe place.

Mr. Nguyen Duy Thuy, Principal of Trung Ly Secondary School for Ethnic Minorities, said that the flood caused landslides into three student rooms in the boarding house built with prefabricated houses and threatened many other classrooms of the school.

The students are moving their belongings to a safe place.

"Currently, the school has 460 students in the dormitory, but because it is the weekend, only 214 students stay at school. We are worried that after students return to school, the school's dormitory will have difficulty providing food and accommodation for them," said Mr. Thuy.

Students move personal belongings.

Also in Muong Lat district, due to heavy rain, the water level of Xim stream (Muong Chanh commune) rose on some roads, forcing the locality to urgently evacuate 18 households to safety.

Currently, students are moving to the school's 2-story building to stay temporarily.

Due to complicated flood situation, Muong Lat district has announced that all students in the district will be off school on September 23.
