| Because the only road to the villages was damaged, the authorities had to travel nearly 5km by motorboat and then on foot to reach and assist the isolated people. Photo: Lu Phu |

| Mr. Vi Van Sinh, one of seven households in Nhan Ly village, Ta Ca commune, had their entire house swept away by the floodwaters of Huoi Hien stream. Mr. Sinh said: When the floodwaters came, he, his wife and young child were in a hut on the field, so fortunately there were no casualties. Having lost their home and no place to live, Mr. Sinh's family had to temporarily live in a hut on the field to get by. Photo: Lu Phu |

| Currently, the flood water on the streams has subsided, but dozens of cubic meters of soil and rocks have spilled onto the road, flooding the mouths of the streams, causing the road from the center of Muong Xen town to 4 villages of Ta Ca commune and 2 inner communes of Muong Tip and Muong Ai to be cut off and impassable, especially for cars.
