Isolated due to the effects of floods, the woman was successfully rescued by the Border Guard and officials of Nhon Mai commune.

On July 28, Nhon Mai Border Guard Station (Nghe An Border Guard) coordinated with Nhon Mai commune authorities to successfully rescue Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh, a woman who had been isolated for many days due to the effects of floods.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh (born in 1970), Nhon Mai commune, said: she is a fish farmer in cages on the Nam Non river. When the flood came so suddenly, she did not have time to react and all the fish cages and assets invested by the family's bank loan were swept away. She was lucky to escape death when she managed to cling to a tree and run up the mountainside. Ms. Thanh had to take shelter in the forest for nearly a week, surviving by eating forest trees and leaves to hold on.

Upon receiving the news, Nhon Mai Border Guard Station promptly coordinated with the commune authorities to deploy a rescue plan. Overcoming many difficulties due to strong currents, the lake bed being blocked by trash and tree branches, and going through deep forests... finally, the border guards, soldiers, and medical staff of Nhon Mai Border Guard Station, along with the local authorities, successfully approached the area where Ms. Thanh was trapped and promptly carried out rescue operations.

Directly accompanying the officers of Nhon Mai Border Guard Station to the rescue scene, Mr. Le Hong Thai - Chairman of Nhon Mai Commune People's Committee said: "Our viewpoint is that saving people is the top priority. Thanks to the smooth coordination between the border guards and the relentless efforts, this morning we were able to rescue the woman who had been trapped in the forest for nearly a week."

Immediately after arriving, the medical staff of Nhon Mai Border Guard Station examined and examined Ms. Thanh’s health. After first aid and psychological stabilization, she was taken to the Border Guard Station working group for further care and recovery.

Nhon Mai commune is currently still isolated due to landslides on National Highway 16 running through the area. Despite many difficulties, rescue work is still being promptly deployed by the local forces of Nhon Mai Border Guard Station and local authorities, to ensure that no one is left behind in the current complicated flood situation./.
