People in the mountainous commune of Hue City are restless because the landslide is about to "swallow" their entire house

Sau dot mua lu lich su, nhieu ho dan song ben Thac Truot (xa Khe Tre, TP Hue) dung ngoi khong yen vi nha o cua ho co the bi nuot chung boi sat lo.

After the historic flood, many households living near Thac Trinh (Khe Tre commune, Hue city) were restless because their houses could be "swallowed" by landslides.

Nguoi dan dia phuong cho biet, cuoi thang 10 vua qua, nhung ngay mua trang troi, lu du ua tu tren dinh nui ve nhu song than, xe di nhieu met dat gan nha.

Local people said that at the end of October, during the rainy and white days, the floodwaters poured down from the top of the mountain like a song, scattering many meters of land near their homes.

Day la can nha, la tai san duy nhat cua gia dinh ba Nguyen Thi Khuyen (52 tuoi). Ba dung than tho o manh vuon trong hoac, noi tung la mai am duoc hai vo chong ba gay dung suot may chuc nam.

This is the house, the only property of Ms. Nguyen Thi Khuyen's family (52 years old). The landslide reached deep into the foundation, causing the house to tear in half, sweeping away three bedrooms, a living room and an altar. The rest was just a huge stove and a few things were scattered.

Ba Khuyen mot minh dung than tho o manh vuon trong hoac, noi tung la mai am duoc hai vo chong ba gay dung suot may chuc nam.

Ms. Khuyen stood alone in an empty garden, which used to be a shelter built by her and her husband for decades.

Tro chuyen voi PV Bao Lao Dong, ba Khuyen khong dau duoc cam xuc, ngam ngui ke lai: “Luc do toi da di so tan den noi khac nen da may man thoat nan. Nhung khi ve lai thay can nha bi xe lam doi, mot nua bi cuon di mat, nua con lai la gian bep voi tai san la may cai chen“.

Talking to the reporter of Lao Dong Newspaper, Ms. Khuyen could not hide her emotions and sadly recounted: "At that time, I had evacuated to another place so I was lucky to escape. But when I returned and saw the house torn in half, half swept away, the other half was a kitchen with several bowls, I had given up.

Ba Khuyen con chia se rang, chong cua ba di lam xa, con cai cung o xa nen khi xay ra su viec chua ai ve kip. Khi do, mot than mot minh danh phai nuong tua vao hang xom.

Ms. Khuyen also shared that her husband worked far away and her children were also far away, so when the incident happened, no one could return in time. At that time, a family alone had to rely on their neighbors.

Hay tin, hang xom, cac chi em phu nu trong thon den an ui, dong vien, nhung nuoc mat ba van roi khi nhin dong suoi chay xiet truoc mat.

When hearing the news, neighbors and women in the village came to comfort and encourage her, but her tears still fell when seeing the stream flowing rapidly in front of her.

Ben canh nha ba Khuyen la nhieu gia dinh khac dang trong canh bat an, khi sat lo da an sau vao tan san nha.

Next to Ms. Khuyen's house, many other families were in a state of insecurity, and when the landslide occurred, it had eaten into their yard.

can nha cap 4 cua vo chong ba Tran Thi Chuon, 72 tuoi, cung bi lu khoet sau gan nua san, nen nha co dau hieu sut lun. Hai ong ba gia yeu phai don do di o nho vi so dat tiep tuc sat.

The level 4 house of Ms. Tran Thi Chuon, 72 years old, was also dug up nearly half a yard deep, the floor showed signs of subsidence. The elderly and weak couple had to move their belongings to stay in a rented house because they were afraid that the land would continue to collapse.

“Hai ong ba gia yeu, nay sat lo den tan chan, chung toi khong biet lam sao” - ba Chuon lang nguoi.

"The two old and weak people are now covered with landslides, we don't know what to do" - Ms. Chuon silently said.

Ba Chuon lo ngai, neu co mot tran lu lon nua thi can nha cua hai cu se bi cuon phang.

Ms. Chuon was worried that if there was another big flood, the two old men's house would be swept away.

Speaking with Lao Dong reporter, Mr. Duong Thanh Phuoc - Chairman of Khe Tre Commune People's Committee said that in the immediate future, the government has supported the movement of people and necessary assets of households affected by landslides to temporarily live in relatives' houses. In the long term, the People's Committee of the commune will ask for opinions and submit to the People's Committee of Hue City to consider a resettlement plan so that people can soon stabilize their lives.
