"Our group had more than 200 motorbikes, all of them were Ky Son people working for hire in Binh Duong, departing on July 25. However, when we were almost home, we were left behind because our motorbikes broke down and we were tired," said Vu Ba Binh (20 years old, Na Ngoi commune). Photo: Tien Hung
