At least 90 people have now died in floods and landslides in central Vietnam triggered by heavy rains earlier this week, state media reported Sunday, citing the country's disaster prevention agency.
The deluges wreaked widespread destruction across a region already battered weeks ago by floods from record rainfall and the powerful typhoon Kalmaegi.
The rains triggered multiple landslides on major routes in Vietnam’s Central Highlands. Railways lines and roads were submerged, leaving thousands stranded.
Vietnam is among the world’s most flood-prone countries, with nearly half its population living in high-risk areas. Scientists warn that a warming climate is intensifying storms and rainfall across Southeast Asia, making floods and landslides increasingly destructive and frequent.
