Previously, social networks widely circulated a photo of a couple carrying a small child sitting in a basin moving through floodwaters. The photo was accompanied by the caption "Heartbreaking image of a family evacuating in Ngoc Linh commune, Vi Xuyen, Ha Giang... Storm No. 3, floods and the pain and loss that never fades...".
After the photo was posted, it received much sympathy from the online community.
On the evening of September 11, speaking with Lao Dong Newspaper reporter, Ms. Nguyen Thi Lien - Chairman of Ngoc Linh Commune People's Committee said that the above image belongs to Mr. P.X.D and his wife (residing in Tan Lap village, Ngoc Linh commune).
"During the recent flood, some areas in the locality were flooded. However, Mr. D's family area was not flooded.
Recently, Mr. D and his wife have been working as YouTubers. The above image is one of the contents made during the flood season. The authorities invited Mr. D to work on this issue," said Ms. Lien.
The Chairman of the People's Committee of Ngoc Linh Commune affirmed that after the flood, the locality has actively overcome the consequences, supported and evacuated people and property to safe places. People need to be alert to information on social networks. Acts of posting and sharing fake and untrue information will be investigated and handled according to regulations.
