Vietnam’s centre region was left devastated after bearing the brunt of six storms and tropical depressions in October. Since late September, 235 local people have been listed as dead and missing from storms and floods, which have also caused estimated economic losses of about VND17 trillion (US$735.25 million), according to a Government report to the National Assembly on November 2.
