HANOI, Vietnam—Nearly 200 people have died in Vietnam in the aftermath of Typhoon Yagi and 128 are missing as flash floods and landslides take their toll, state media reported Thursday. Vietnam’s VNExpress newspaper reported that 199 people have died while more than 800 have been injured.
Rescue officers carry people on boat in a flooded street in the aftermath of Typhoon Yagi, in Hanoi, Vietnam on Thursday, Sept. 12, 2024.
In the capital, floodwaters from the Red River receded slightly but many areas were still inundated with water neck-high in some places. Pedestrians hiked up their shorts as high as possible to avoid being soaked by the wake caused by a delivery truck powering its way through the water. The floodwaters damaged the doors to Hoang Anh Tu’s home, from which he operates a beer shop. Though he and his family were able to relocate to his parents’ house, they have had to take turns guarding the building.
The death toll spiked earlier in the week as a flash flood swept away the entire hamlet of Lang Nu in northern Vietnam’s Lao Cai province Tuesday.
