Routes leading to these areas have been cut off due to landslides, which brought down tens of thousands of cubic metres of rock and soil.
This has significantly deterred post-flood rescue efforts – particularly the transportation of injured persons to the nearest medical facilities.
Phu Yen district has 8 cement bridges and 9 hanging bridges that have been damaged or swept away by the floods. A total of 109 kilometers of the district’s roads have also been damaged.
