Tropical storm Mindulle, the third to hit Vietnam so far this year,
has claimed the lives of ten people, left one missing and injured 64
others.
The figures were announced by the Flood and Storm Prevention and Control
Steering Committee during its meeting in Hanoi on August 26 to
discuss measures to deal with the consequences of the storm.
As
Mindulle smashed into Vietnam ’s central region, Nghe An province was
the hardest hit, with six people killed and economic damage of around
600 billion VND.
All affected localities are urgently repairing
the damage and supporting the families of the dead and injured to help
them get back to normal.
They are keeping a close eye on the
water level of rivers in Thanh Hoa and Nghe An provinces to see whether
or not they need to take actions to protect local people from unexpected
floods../.
