| Traders clean up tables and chairs to resume business. However, many people still do not know how to cope. Ms. Hoang Huong, a trader who suffered heavy losses, sighed: "My family lost all the goods at the booth and warehouse. Now we are borrowing 300 million VND from our brothers to restore and gradually pay off the debt." Photo: Quang An |

| Almost 80% of agricultural products were damaged. Taking advantage of the rain to stop, farmers took advantage of the open spaces in the market to dry their slightly waterlogged agricultural products. Photo: Quang An |

| Some goods that were not damaged by water were carefully cleaned by traders for further sale. Ms. Le Thi Ninh, a trader on the west side of the market hall, said: "After the record flood, we have raised our vigilance when there is bad weather. Currently, everyone has gathered each other's phone numbers to contact and inform each other when there is flooding or heavy rain, and will work together to "save" the goods." Photo: Quang An |

| After the heavy flooding that forced the closure of kiosks, on dry days, some traders have opened their warehouses to resume business in the hope of favorable weather to compensate for the damage caused by the floods. Mr. To Thanh Nhan - Head of Vinh Market Management Board said: In the past 2 days, trading activities at Vinh market are gradually stabilizing again. People and the market management board have worked together to clean up, and assigned 15 people to be on duty every night to raise vigilance.
