HANOI (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of homes were submerged in central Vietnam, the fifth major floods since August in which hundreds of people have died, roads and railways inundated, crops damaged and water-borne diseases spread. Relief workers delivered emergency supplies of household kits, clean water containers and mosquito nets in the coastal cities of Hue and Danang and the provinces of Quang Tri, Quang Ngai and Binh Dinh.
"The water is at very dangerous levels and we are not very clear on what all the needs are," said spokesman Tao Van Dang of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in Hanoi.
