Heartbreaking: Bodies of 4 flood victims found in northern Vietnam

VOV.VN - Four bodies, all victims who were missing after being swept away by a flood in the northern Vietnam village of Nam Pam in Son La Province were found in separate locations on Friday, August 4.

Rescuers said a fifth missing person was found alive.

All the bodies were handed over to the police by rescuers and sent to a local hospital for identification and autopsy.

This brings the death toll from the natural disaster over the past two days to 10 with six seriously injured as authorities continue to search for at least six known missing persons.

As the death count climbs, high waters and torrential downpours also destroyed more than 260 homes, washed out countless roads and knocked out power for tens of thousands of people.
