Mexico City (VNA) – The Mexican media have provided continuous updates about super Typhoon Yagi, which hit Vietnam on September 7, and also highlighted Vietnamese people’s resilience in the face of the strongest storm in the East Sea in more than 30 years.
The World News section of Milenio, a major national newspaper in Mexico, on September 10 shared a video about employees striving to hold the doors of a hotel in an effort to prevent heavy rain and winds.
It also shared social media opinions which praised the bravery of those hotel employees as well as Vietnamese people amid the adversity, considering such images as highly emotional and inspiring images.
Mentioning the Vietnamese Government and people’s extraordinary response and rescue efforts, the Enfoque Noticias newspaper cited statistics as showing that Vietnam mobilised all forces, including over 500,000 military personnel, for search, rescue, and evacuation of tens of thousands of people to safe places.
While the El Debate newspaper reported on the enormous human and property losses caused by Yagi, TV channel FORO shared many clips about the devastation of the strongest typhoon in Vietnam in decades.
