Hoa Thinh flood center seen from flycam: Village in disarray after flood recedes

The water is gradually receding at the flood epicenter of Hoa Thinh (formerly Phu Yen, now part of Dak Lak province), revealing a devastated and desolate countryside. From the flycam perspective, the tiled roofs are blown off, many houses have collapsed or are deformed, and the gardens are littered with rubbish and mud, clearly showing the extent of the devastation caused by the historic flood.

On the afternoon of November 23, at the flood center of Hoa Thinh (formerly Phu Yen , now Dak Lak province), the water gradually receded but the whole commune was still submerged in a thick layer of mud, houses collapsed, and fields were flooded. The school yard was still covered in water and mud.

From the early morning of November 20, many people in Hoa Thinh commune had to climb onto their roofs to avoid the flood, and rescue forces approached in extremely dangerous conditions. When the water receded, soldiers, police and militia "spread out" throughout the commune to support cleanup, relief, rebuild houses and restore schools.
