In the midst of the flood, more than 11,800 officers and soldiers of the armed forces of Military Region 5, along with hundreds of vehicles, canoes, motorboats, and specialized vehicles, waded through the flood to rescue and evacuate people, and transport food and necessities to isolated areas.

Soldiers deployed a cleanup plan immediately after the flood receded.

Heavy rains from Da Nang to Quang Ngai caused 54 communes and wards to be submerged in water; 107 landslides buried dozens of houses and severely disrupted traffic.

The soldiers worked seriously to help people stabilize their lives soon.

Soldiers urgently cleaned up the mud.

The forces have evacuated more than 7,200 households with nearly 24,000 people to safety; distributed nearly 10 tons of dry food, thousands of boxes of instant noodles, more than 76,000 bottles of water, 12,000 boxed meals, milk and canned meat to people in deep flooded areas. The Military Region's engineering units coordinated with local authorities to overcome 40 landslides, opened many roads, helping people restore production and soon stabilize their lives.

At the conference, Lieutenant General Le Ngoc Hai highly appreciated the spirit of initiative and dedication of the soldiers in the entire Military Region.
