HANOI: According to the government’s weather agency, flood water levels in the Red River in Hanoi are expected to remain relatively unchanged until at least early Friday (Sep 13), and several city areas will remain submerged.
Typhoon Yagi, which made landfall in Vietnam on Saturday, caused floods and landslides that severely damaged the country, leaving at least 181 people dead and 141 missing, according to the government’s disaster management agency.
According to a report from the agency, “high flooding water levels have eroded dykes, flooded riverside and low-lying areas, and threatened parts of Hanoi” and other northern provinces.
Thousands of residents who lived close to the swollen river had to be evacuated earlier by the city when its waters reached a 20-year high. According to state media reports, deadly landslides are still occurring in mountainous areas north of Hanoi.
