Traces of floodwaters were still visible on the school walls. The school was flooded nearly 3 meters deep, up to the first floor.
Books and school supplies were soaked in floodwaters and left to dry in the schoolyard in the past few days after the water receded. Ms. Do Thi Diem Huong (teacher at Kim Dong Primary School) said: “Kim Dong Primary School suffered quite heavy damage after the storm and flood. The school has nearly 1,000 students, and more than 50% of the students’ families suffered losses, losing all their property due to the floodwaters. All teaching aids and equipment in the school were also damaged and unusable.”

The central market area of Tran Yen district (Yen Bai province) was flooded up to nearly 2m, with more than 1m of mud and trash. “Every day, hundreds of people had to clean up, sweep, and pull out the mud. Working continuously for 6-7 days, the road was like this, in some places the mud was still 20-30cm high,” said Ms. Nguyen Thi Loan (living on Song Thao street, Tran Yen district) pointing to the road around the market. Ms. Loan added: “In my whole life, I have never seen such a big flood, as deep as this one. Near the river, inside there are 2 houses with only old people over 70 years old and over 80 years old living alone. That day, the house was flooded up to the 2nd floor, they couldn’t get out, they waved their hands to call for help.”
