According to locals, a crack about 200 meters long and 1 meter wide has appeared on the top of Ru Lay, which could collapse rocks and soil onto people's houses at any time. Photo: Nguyen Chau

Faced with that situation, the Hung Yen Nam commune authorities had to evacuate 19 households with a total of over 100 people living in this area to a safe place, while rocks and soil are still sliding down every day. Photo: Nguyen Chau

Mr. Pham Trong Tham, a resident of this area, said: "We have been living in constant fear for the past few days, especially since the landslides have caused severe damage in the past. We dare not stay and have to take refuge at our relatives' houses..." In the photo: Large blocks of rock and soil, combined with the steep slope, pose a potential risk of accidents.

Previously, during the heavy rain on October 31, tons of mud and soil poured into people's houses. It was not until today (November 3) that people finished cleaning up, but they still did not dare to move in. Photo: Nguyen Chau

A similar situation occurred at Ram Mountain, Hamlet 3, Hung Yen Nam Commune. The mountainside continuously collapsed, rocks and soil fell to the foot of the mountain, forcing 50 households with 300 people living in this area to evacuate. Photo: Nguyen Chau

Mr. Nguyen Van Nghia, a resident living at the foot of Ram Mountain, said: I have not dared to stay at home all week. During the day, I only come back to monitor the situation. At night, I have to sleep at someone else's house because it is very dangerous. Currently, my wife and 3 children have also returned to their parents' house to ensure safety. Photo: Nguyen Chau

In the Nui Voi area, hamlet 5, Nghi Cong Bac commune (Nghi Loc), a dangerous landslide also appeared right next to houses, the cracks can be clearly seen from afar. Photo: Nguyen Chau

This is a steep mountain, when heavy rains caused rocks and soil to collapse on residential areas, breaking a series of trees. The locality had to urgently evacuate 8 households with 34 people who have not been able to return to their homes for a week now. Photo: Nguyen Chau

Mr. Nguyen Duy Quang, a resident living next to Voi Mountain, has moved all his belongings to his relatives' house. No one in his family dares to stay at home after dark. There are still landslides, so his family does not know when they will be able to return. Currently, the functional forces of Nghi Loc district and Nghi Cong Bac commune are still on duty here to prevent any incidents. Photo: Nguyen Chau
