The status line with the words that make readers feel sympathy like: "Water is up to the roof, 2 days and 2 nights without food or water. Current situation is hunger, thirst and exhaustion so fell ill. My aunt and uncle's house is up to the roof but can't call for help because there is no one in this area."
After the information was posted, it received many likes and shares from social network users.
Regarding the incident, Mr. Pham Van Linh - Chairman of Lien Thuy Commune People's Committee said that when receiving the news, the authorities were completely surprised because the water had receded in most families since the morning of the same day. The area mentioned in the call for help was not deeply flooded. When the authorities sent people to check and verify, this family was still normal, proactively providing food for the past few days, there was absolutely no hunger or cold.
