Officials encounter difficulties in reaching flood-hit areas

As a result, residents face many difficulties including the lack of supplies. Currently, authorities of Mường Tè district are trying to reach the isolated communes. However, rain and landslide have continued to plague the area. Due to this, the mobilization of machinery to address this issue has encountered difficulties.

The recovery work is still being urgently implemented. In isolated localities, the districts are focusing on mobilising local people to help each other in overcoming difficulties, while directing the concerned forces to find any way possible to supply essential goods for the people in need.

Statistics from the Steering Committees for Disaster Prevention and Control and Search and Rescue in localities in Lai Chau show that the whole province still has ten communes with over 100 hamlets and thousands of households still temporarily isolated due to floods.
