Vietnam Says Death Toll From Storm at Least 97; 48 Missing
By Nguyen Dieu Tu Uyen
Aug. 11 (Bloomberg) -- At least 97 people died and 48 people were missing in Vietnam after Tropical Storm Kammuri swept through the north from Aug. 8. causing floods and landslides, according to the National Committee for Flood and Storm Control.
``There are many villages that remain isolated after landslides destroyed roads in our area,'' said Pham Duc Dung, head of the standing team for flood and storm control in Lao Cai, the province hardest hit by the storm.
Thirty-six people were killed and 38 were missing in Lao Cai, which borders China and includes the tourist resort of Sapa, the national committee said the report. ``We are using army helicopters to access these areas to get people out,'' said Dung.
More than 4,500 houses have collapsed or been damaged, while 8,700 hectares (21,498 acres) of rice and other crops have been spoiled in the nine northern mountainous provinces hit by the storm, according to the report. The Southeast Asian nation has more than 9 million hectares of agricultural land.
Tropical storm Kammuri, which buffeted Hong Kong and China earlier last week, reached Vietnam on Aug. 8. The Southeast Asian nation is usually struck by between six to nine storms every year, according to the committee.
``No estimate of the economic losses from the flood and landslide-hit areas is available yet,'' said Hanoi-based Nguyen The Luong, head of the national committee's standing team. ``The committee sees a strong possibility of more floods and landslides downstream because water levels are continuing to rise and more rain is expected.''
