Police officers, soldiers and youth union members struggled with mud to help the people.
On July 30, police, military, youth union members and many other forces continued to gather in mountainous communes in western Nghe An to overcome the consequences of the recent historic floods.
Due to the severe damage, the recovery work has encountered many difficulties and hardships. Huge amounts of mud and soil have covered roads, houses, schools and public spaces, sweeping away and burying a series of assets and infrastructure. For many days, police officers, soldiers and youth union members have struggled with mud and soil to help the people.
The Nghe An Provincial Military Command also mobilized 27,334 officers and soldiers to respond to and overcome the consequences of floods. Of these, 6,154 workdays were from the Provincial Military Command, 3,970 workdays from the Border Guard, 5,090 workdays from Brigade 324, 200 workdays from the National Defense Technical Group 4 and more than 11,770 workdays from the militia and self-defense force. Dozens of boats, cars of all kinds, high-pressure pumps and hand tools were deployed to support the rescue work.
Nghe An Provincial Police mobilized a large force to participate in the rescue. More than 500 officers and soldiers, along with necessities and vehicles, were mobilized to support the people.
In addition, the police of units and localities also mobilized more than 4,250 officers and soldiers to closely follow the area, advise on mobilizing more than 10,000 forces to participate in protecting security and order at landslide and deep flood points, and put up warning signs and watchdogs to prevent people from passing through.
The Standing Committee of Nghe An Provincial Youth Union has also established 130 youth volunteer teams with nearly 2,000 members to support the people. More than 1,300 youth union members from 130 communes, wards and universities and colleges have been mobilized to flood-hit areas to join local authorities in helping people clear mud and rebuild houses and schools.
Nhon Mai Border Guard Station coordinated with local authorities and people to urgently build temporary bridges made of bamboo and wood to ensure the transportation of food and provisions to isolated villages.
Soldiers build temporary bridges to help isolated people
After more than a week of the terrible flash flood, the road to the border commune of Nhon Mai (Nghe An) is still completely paralyzed. Supply work for the people is mainly carried out by water or on foot. In the commune, many villages are still isolated because bridges were washed away by the flood.
To provide timely relief to isolated people, Nhon Mai Border Guard Station (Nghe An Border Guard) coordinated with local authorities and people to urgently build temporary bridges to ensure the transportation of food and provisions to isolated villages.
According to statistics, the entire Nhon Mai commune had 5 bridges swept away by floodwaters. Of the 21 isolated villages, Huoi To 2 village, located 20 km from the commune center, with 46 households (207 people, mainly Thai people) suffered the most damage. The historic flood completely swept away 14 houses, 18 others were at risk of collapse and had to be urgently evacuated. The only road leading to the village was broken, causing countless difficulties for the people's lives.
Although the area is still isolated, the Border Guard, the government and local forces have promoted the "4 on-site" motto, both evacuating and dismantling houses at risk of collapse and urgently building temporary bridges to promptly provide food and supplies, helping people stabilize their lives soon.
