Communes in Son La remain isolated

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.
