Floodwaters recede slowly, many households in Ha Tinh still suffer from flooding

Although the rain has stopped, due to slow water receding on the rivers, many households in localities in Ha Tinh such as Huong Khe, Can Loc, and Vu Quang are being affected by flooding.

Many areas in Huong Thuy commune, Huong Khe district are still severely flooded.

Since the afternoon of October 31, it has continued to rain in Ha Tinh, with some places experiencing heavy rain. However, the rain has been in short bursts, not widespread, and not continuous, so the flood situation in some localities has eased.

However, because the flood on the rivers is still high, the flood water is receding quite slowly. This causes many households in the province to still suffer from flooding.

Among the flooded localities, at this time, Huong Khe district still has 1,477 households with water flooding into their houses and gardens.

The North-South railway through Ha Tinh has been reopened after a landslide.

Floodwaters also submerged 6 schools, 15 village meeting halls, 1 post office and many traffic routes. Many traffic works and infrastructure in the district were eroded and damaged due to floods. The banks of Ngan Sau and Tiem rivers through the communes of Loc Yen, Gia Pho, Huong Thuy, Dien My, Huong Lien and Huong Lam were severely eroded.

Ms. NTH (born 1995, Ha Linh commune) - the victim who went missing in floodwaters at noon on October 30 while on her way to work, has not yet been found.

The village cultural house in Vu Quang district was submerged in water.

In Vu Quang district, 5 village writers and 2 households in Duc Bong and Duc Giang communes were flooded. In addition, many traffic routes were partially flooded, leaving 915 households isolated.

The complex rain and floods led to landslides on many traffic routes, 58 households suffered property damage due to landslides, 2 households in Duc Huong commune were affected by flash floods. Many areas of winter corn, vegetables, fish ponds, and intra-field canals in the district were damaged by floodwaters.

Flooding is also occurring in 200 households in Can Loc district. In addition, many traffic works, roads, fences, aquaculture areas, and internal canals in the locality are affected by floods.

Households in Can Loc district had their houses flooded.

Heavy rain also caused damage to roads and infrastructure in other localities such as Cam Xuyen, Thach Ha, Ky Anh town and Hong Linh town.

According to the forecast from the Ha Tinh Hydrometeorological Station, from the evening of October 31, the rain will basically stop in the province, and floodwaters will gradually recede. From November 1, the flooding situation is likely to improve significantly.
