STORYLINE:
Flood waters have started to recede slowly in An Lac village on the outskirts of Hanoi as some families returned to clean up their houses.
But some homes remained nearly 2 meters deep in water.
Flood waters rushed in on Monday following torrential rain from Typhoon Yagi that swells the nearby Cau river.
Villager Nguyen Thi Loan, who was evacuated when the flood started to rise, returned to her home to find her furniture and electric appliances damaged by the flood.
Loan, who has been living all her life in the village said she’s never experienced anything like it.
She said the flood rushed in so fast.
Loan’s neighbor, Nguyen Thi Dinh also came back to clean her house.
But she will have to return to the communal shelter after the cleaning because there was nothing to eat at home.
From the main road, villagers use boats to get to their flooded homes. Some had to wade in the chest deep water.
Sai Tien Minh returned to his village to find that much his house is still under water.
“It is very difficult. I hope the flood will recede soon so people can go back to normal when we can easily travel about," he said.
The death toll in the aftermath of Typhoon Yagi in Vietnam has climbed to 233 as rescue workers recovered more bodies from areas hit by landslides and flash floods.
The effects of the typhoon, the strongest to hit Vietnam in decades, were also being felt across the region, with flooding and landslides in northern Thailand, Laos and northeastern Myanmar.
