Typhoon Yagi In Vietnam: Claims Hundreds Of Lives

Before reaching Vietnam, the super typhoon had already caused a significant loss of life. 

24 people died in southern China and the Philippines.

Phong Chau Bridge Disaster

Emergency teams are working hard at the Phong Chau bridge. While part of the bridge remains standing, rescuers are searching for victims and survivors in the water below. To help people cross the river, workers are building a temporary floating bridge. This quick fix will reconnect the area until a permanent solution can be found. 

In addition to the bridge collapse, a bus with 20 people on board was hit by a landslide and swept away in Cao Bang province. The ongoing Vietnam storm makes the rescue efforts very difficult. Roads are blocked, and the rain keeps falling, slowing down teams trying to help.
