Floodwaters have gone down on most streets and residential areas in Yen Bai City on July 22.

The streets and residential areas are covered in a thick layer of mud and silt deposits.

Locals and functional forces help in the cleanup effort.

Armed forces are divided into groups to help the locals.

Fire-hoses, bulldozers, and excavators are used to clear the mud.

 
 
 

Rubbish is moved away from residential areas to prevent pollution and outbreaks of disease.
