HANOI (Vietnam News/ANN): Severe flooding has forced the authorities in Vietnam’s capital Hanoi to evacuate nearly 8,500 residents, with more than 10,500 people already affected, and plans are underway to move around 38,500 others, mostly in the outlying communes of Trung Gia, Thu Lam, Tien Theng, and Da Phuc.
A report from the city’s Department of Agriculture and Environment on the morning of Oct 10 said rising waters from the Cau and Ca Lo rivers had inundated a number of riverside communes, including Kim Anh, Noi Bai, Soc Son, Tien Thang, and Trung Gia.
