Since mid - October this year, five consecutive floods have struck the central provinces, leaving 111 people dead and missing and another 121 injured. Binh Dinh is worst hit.
Severe floods are expected as the river water level is rising swiftly in the central provinces of Quang Binh and Ha Tinh provinces, which were devastated by historic floods earlier this month.
Floods, sparked by torrential rains, have occurred in central provinces over the last few days, beginning to wreak havoc on the localities which already suffered from the recent devastating floods.
Floods triggered by torrential rains have killed four people, injured 12 and left one missing in the central provinces of Ha Tinh, Quang Binh and Quang Tri as of November 3 morning.
Ten people were killed, one went missing and three others were injured due to heavy rains and floods in the central region as of December 4, according to the National Steering Committee on Disaster Prevention and Control.
