The latest statistics revealed that heavy rains and flood left two people dead, one missing, nearly 1,000 flooded houses and 8 schools, 16 village halls and a post office were damaged.

Moreover, many traffic routes, lakes, dams, and river embankments suffered erosion. It is estimated that the total loss and economic damages caused by floods and rains in Huong Khe district reached over VND 150 billion.

During the flood, despite torrential rains and other risks to their lives, Ha Tinh border troops coordinated with functional forces and local authorities to evacuate local people and their properties to safer places. After floodwater began to recede, the troops continued to help local people overcome natural disaster consequences, thereby soon resuming their normal life and production activities.
