Floods and landslides triggered by torrential rains over the past weeks in the central and Central Highlands regions, particularly Thua Thien – Hue and Quang Tri provinces, claimed 84 lives and left 38 others missing as of 6pm on October 18, according to the Office of the Steering Committee on Natural Disaster Prevention and Control.
Heavy rain is predicted to last in the coming days, posing a high risk of landslides and flash floods in the central and Central Highlands regions.
