In the late afternoon of July 24, the My Thoi Fire and Rescue Team (under the Fire and Rescue Police Department of An Giang Provincial Police) deployed forces to coordinate with relevant units to urgently organize the search for a child who drowned and went missing on the Long Xuyen canal, the section flowing through Dong An hamlet, Bui Van Danh street, Long Xuyen ward, An Giang province.
According to initial information, at about 4:10 pm on July 24, people discovered a drowning incident on the Long Xuyen canal, passing through the Khom Dong An area (next to Bui Van Danh street), belonging to Long Xuyen ward, An Giang province. The victims were identified as D. M. T (born 2015) and V.H. L (born 2017), both residing in Khom Dong An, Long Xuyen ward, An Giang province.
Immediately upon receiving the news, Long Xuyen Ward Police sent forces to rescue and brought L. ashore and took her to An Giang General Hospital for emergency treatment, but she did not survive. D. M. T. is still missing.
Until 7 pm on the same day, local police forces were still coordinating with the My Thoi Fire and Rescue Team and other forces to actively search for T. The fast-flowing water caused many difficulties in searching for the missing victim.
