After the flood receded, Muong Xen commune (Nghe An) was in disarray. Mud and wood from upstream piled up meters high made flood recovery work difficult. This morning, July 24, hundreds of people from the blocks and villages flocked to the affected areas to lend a helping hand.

This morning (July 24), many places in the center of Muong Xen commune were still littered with mud and wood waste. On Highway 7, mud piled up more than 1 meter high made the recovery work difficult. Photo: Dao Tho

To help the people affected by the damage, from early morning, the border guards and other forces came to join hands to overcome the consequences of the natural disaster. Notably, more than 300 people from Huoi Giang 1, 2, 3 and Lu Thanh villages (former Tay Son commune) did not hesitate to overcome difficulties, crossing more than 10km of forest road, carrying hoes and shovels, and rolling up their sleeves to share with the damaged areas.

With a small child and no one to look after her at home, Ms. Ha Y Lu (Huoi Giang 1 village) decided to carry her child along with the soldiers and local people to help families in Muong Xen commune overcome the consequences. Photo: Dao Tho

Ms. Ha Y Lu said that her child is only 5 months old, but seeing that people in the commune's blocks are so heavily affected, she agreed to take care of her child while working. "Maybe the child also understands the hardship of his mother and the loss of the people, so he is very obedient" - Ms. Y Lu shared. Photo: Dao Tho

After the flood, the solidarity and mutual assistance between forces and people is a great motivation for people in the affected areas to try to overcome the consequences as quickly as possible and stabilize their lives soon. Photo: Dao Tho
