Dak Lak: 23 buffaloes swept away by floods after Typhoon Kalmaegi (Typhoon No. 13)
Floods following Typhoon Kalmaegi submerged 23 buffaloes in Dak Lak province, prompting local authorities to appeal to traders to purchase them to help residents overcome their difficulties.
On the morning of November 7th, the People's Committee of Ea Súp commune (Dak Lak province) reported that rising floodwaters following Typhoon Kalmaegi had submerged 23 buffaloes belonging to local residents. These buffaloes were being grazed in the fields and were unable to be moved in time when the floodwaters rose too quickly.
According to the local authorities, immediately after the incident, they coordinated with the villages and residents to organize a search, and also appealed to traders to buy the dead buffaloes to help the people reduce their losses.
Faced with the difficulties of the people in Ea Súp commune, the local government is mobilizing traders from within and outside the district to help purchase the dead buffaloes. This purchase will not only help the people recover some of their losses but also prevent environmental pollution after the flood.
An official from Ea Súp commune added that, in addition to the dead buffaloes, many areas of crops such as tobacco and sugarcane were also deeply submerged in water, causing even more severe economic losses for the local people.
Typhoon Kalmaegi not only affected Ea Súp but also caused significant damage in many areas of eastern Dak Lak province. Two people died due to their houses collapsing, many roads were cut off, houses were damaged, and hundreds of fish cages were swept away.
In addition, thousands of households have been evacuated to safe areas due to prolonged heavy rain and flooding. Rescue forces, police, military, and local militia are being mobilized to the fullest extent to help people overcome the aftermath of the storm.
Following Typhoon Kalmaegi, people in the flood-affected areas of Dak Lak province are facing many difficulties. The government is calling on organizations, businesses, and philanthropists to provide food, clean water, and essential supplies. At the same time, local forces are continuing to help people clean up, restore agricultural production, and stabilize their lives as soon as possible.
