Soldiers work hard to save people in floodwaters

On November 20, officers and soldiers of Brigade 572 (Military Region 5) struggled amid floodwaters in Tuy An Bac commune (Dak Lak province) to support and rescue people in flooded areas.

The 572nd Brigade's working groups divided into many groups, using canoes, motorboats and specialized vehicles to cross the fast-flowing water to the isolated points. After many hours of effort, the force safely evacuated 22 people from the danger zone, including the elderly, women and children.

The rescue process took place in conditions of rapidly rising water and bad weather, but officers and soldiers still stuck close to the area, making every effort to bring people to safety.

Brigade 572's working group promptly rescued isolated people in Tuy An Bac commune.

The Brigade's working group took Nguyen Thi Muoi (89 years old, Tuy An Bac commune), who fell and broke her leg, to the hospital.

Brigade 572 supplies necessities to people in isolated areas

Brigade 572 also deployed forces to urgently provide first aid and transport 11 people injured due to slipping and falling while fleeing the flood. After initial treatment at the scene, the victims were taken to the nearest medical facility by specialized canoe.

In addition, Brigade 572 also arranged forces to coordinate with Tuy An Bac commune authorities to organize the supply of food and essential necessities for people in deeply flooded villages.
