On November 22, Mr. Ta Tan Cong, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Hoa Thinh commune, said that the damage to the locality in this flood was huge. In Phu Huu village alone, the commune had 7 deaths and about 50 households were isolated.
There are families of elderly couples who stay to look after their property (in the form of cows) that were also submerged in floodwaters, causing death. Some people stepped onto the stairs with broken legs. After that, he got cold, hungry and cold, but he did not survive.
"The whole commune has been without power for the past few days. The phone was also unusable due to a loss of signal. Therefore, we go to each village and then compile the damage to report to the commune, said Mr. Ta Tan Cong.
Outside the headquarters of the Party Committee and People's Council of Hoa Thinh commune, cars are bustling in and out. Every convoy of vehicles came here to provide relief to people in flooded areas.
Inside, commune officials are cleaning the room and rearranging the desks. Due to the rapid rise of floodwaters, many documents, machinery, and equipment in the rooms were severely damaged and could not be used. The commune cadres could not have predicted that the water would rise so quickly and so high.
Therefore, all equipment, machinery, and documents on the first floor were soaked in water, leading to complete damage and unusable use.
Mr. Le Trung Hien, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Hoa Thinh Commune Party Committee, said that immediately after the water receded, the commune implemented measures to overcome the consequences of natural disasters. In particular, the commune sent each officer in charge to receive relief goods from people from all over the country.
We are continuing to count the damage to property and houses and have not yet had an official figure. As for the number of deaths, there are 25, this number has only been reported at the present time (afternoon of November 22).
"Currently, the commune has opened a warehouse to receive necessities for donors and businesses inside and outside the province. From tonight, we will continue to count those households that are lacking food and drink to continue supporting," Mr. Le Trung Hien, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Hoa Thinh Commune Party Committee shared more.
