On August 30, the People's Committee of Dak Hlo commune, Kbang district, Gia Lai province said that the local government and local people had arranged the funeral and supported the family of two deceased children.
At around 10:30 a.m. on August 29, after school, Huynh Le N (born in 2013, a student at Dak Hlo Primary and Secondary School) stopped by his grandmother's house to play and took his younger brother Huynh Tan D (born in 2021) home.
While passing through the Dak Hlo spillway in village 1, the water unfortunately swept them and their electric bicycle into the spillway, causing the deaths of two sisters.
Upon receiving the news, the An Khe Fire Fighting and Rescue Team with 13 officers and soldiers arrived at the scene to coordinate with Kbang District Police and local people to search for the two sisters along the culvert.
Due to high and strong water currents, it was extremely difficult for authorities to reach the scene and search for the children's bodies.
On the afternoon of August 29, authorities found the body of Huynh Tan D. At 6:00 a.m. on August 30, the body of Huynh Le N was also found, about 20 meters from the overflow tunnel.
