Vietnam flash flood kills five, dozens evacuated

  • Heavy rain triggered flash floods in Dien Bien province, northern Vietnam, on Thursday night, causing rapid floodwater rise and mudslides that buried two children.
  • The floods followed Vietnam’s ongoing tropical storm season, which often causes deadly floods and landslides in mountainous areas like Dien Bien and Son La provinces.
  • The flash floods destroyed 22 houses, cut off traffic and power lines, inundated crops, and washed away 2,600 poultry and cattle, while rescuers continue to search for missing individuals.
  • At least five people died in weekend floods in Son La, with 14 dead or missing in Dien Bien, including one death and six missing in Xa Dung village, while ongoing heavy rain hampers rescue efforts.
  • These events echo previous severe weather in 2024, such as Typhoon Yagi that killed 345 people and caused $3.3 billion in losses, underscoring intensified flood risks from human-driven climate change.
