This school has 299/361 boarding students. Flash floods also damaged many school documents, books, and student belongings.

“This morning, the school called parents to come to school to take their children home. The school cannot cook for boarding students because the living conditions are not guaranteed, ” added the principal of Luong Minh Primary School for Ethnic Minorities.
