| Mr. Nguyen Van Bang - in hamlet 8, Quynh Minh commune sadly said: "My family has 3 sao of green onions, due to the impact of storm No. 4, heavy rain flooded the whole crop. If we don't harvest early, everything will be ruined when the sun comes up. Even though it's not harvest day yet, we still have to mobilize workers to "rescue" and salvage whatever we can.
