Yen Bai City, Day Two After Floods Recede: It Takes a Week to Clean Up Mud

VOV.VN - Since the afternoon of September 12, the water level of the Red River in Yen Bai city, Yen Bai province has dropped below alert level 2. Most communes, wards, and neighborhoods in the city center and surrounding areas have escaped flooding. The receding water left behind thick layers of mud, trash, and furniture, and all roads and neighborhoods were severely damaged.

Huge piles of garbage appeared after flooding in group 5, Minh Tan ward

The entire neighborhood of Hong Ha ward is filled with mud and garbage.

Sao Mai Kindergarten, Yen Bai city, has just started the new school year but was submerged in mud.

As the water receded, people and authorities cleaned up.

But with a large amount of trash, mud, and widespread flooding, many areas still have no water or electricity, so it is expected to take a whole week to clean up and return people to normal life.
