On January 27, the People's Committee of Dong Commune, Kbang District, announced that they had found the bodies of two sisters, Dinh Thi Loi (born 2013) and Dinh Van Loc (born 2018), both residing in Dak Giang 2 village, Dong Commune.
Over the past two days, Dong commune authorities have mobilized more than 60 people to search around rivers and streams in the area for the whereabouts of Loi and Loc.
Local people discovered the bodies of two sisters on the Ba River flowing through Dong Commune. Local authorities have handed over the bodies to the victims' families and assisted in funeral arrangements.
Previously, on January 24, Mr. Dinh Ban (father of the two sisters) returned home from working in the fields and could not find his children in the village. He reported the disappearance to the People's Committee of Dong commune.
Suspecting that the children were drowning and missing while bathing in the river or stream, the People's Committee of Dong commune mobilized many people to search the area.
People split into small groups to search in the bushes along the river and streams. Later, they discovered the bodies of the two children along the Ba River.
It is known that Gia Lai is a province with many children and students in mountainous and rural areas who have tragic drowning accidents.
