Reportedly, nearly 100 search and rescue (SAR) troops from MR5’s Engineer Brigade 270, Nam Tra My district Military Command and militia force of Tra Leng commune are trying their best to search for 13 missing people. As of November 9, nine bodies were found.

According to the SAR force, at the place where the ninth body was found, they saw a lot of belongings of the missing people. Because it was not easy to reach the scene of the suspected missing people, they had to transport people and SAR equipment via pulleys. They are racing against time, clearing trees and using pumps to flush soil and sand away to search for the missing.

At the scene, Major General Hua Van Tuong highly valued the SAR force’s efforts and asked them to try by all means to find the missing people as soon as possible while ensuring the absolute safety of human and equipment.

Also in Tra Leng commune, the mission worked with the local authorities, during which they were informed of the losses caused by storms Molave and Goni, the ninth and tenth hitting Vietnam this year, and the construction site of a resettlement area in Tra Don commune for 15 Tra Leng households affected by the landslide.  36 other households in village 2, Tra Leng commune whose houses were washed away by flood water will be resettled in a resettlement.

After assessing the construction site, Major General Hua Van Tuong asked the local Party committee and authorities to put forward a plan for the resettlement area and boost information dissemination on the policy of resettlement for locals.

He also promised to continue supporting the locality in overcoming disaster consequences so that locals could resume their normal lives soon.
