Spending the whole night wading through water to save people.

On the night of November 20th, rescue forces in Tay Hoa commune continued their efforts to reach and rescue people who were isolated and trapped. Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Thien Van directed and managed the rescue operation.

Rain, darkness, and a lack of resources made rescue efforts extremely difficult.

Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Thien Van directly supervised the rescue operation.

In the late afternoon, a rescue team led by Mr. Nguyen Thuong Hai, Standing Committee Member of the Provincial Party Committee and Head of the Provincial Party Organization Department, along with police forces and volunteers, arrived to reinforce support. The team brought additional jet skis, inflatable boats, and motorboats to access heavily flooded areas. Immediately, the team deployed to rescue Ms. Huynh Thi Lieu, over 80 years old, who was trapped in the flood and had run out of food. Around 8 PM, more canoes and provincial police forces arrived to provide assistance.

Reports indicated that 11 people, including many children, were trapped; among them were the wife and three young children of Mr. Tran Ngoc Nhan from Nong Nghiep village, Tay Hoa commune. Despite having just undergone leg surgery at the hospital, Mr. Nhan had to hobble through the floodwaters at night, searching for rescue forces to help his wife and children. The available rescue plans proved unfeasible, increasing his anxiety. The rescue team encouraged him while simultaneously deploying equipment and devising a suitable approach.

Authorities are trying every means to reach the people.

When his wife and children were evacuated, Mr. Nhan was overjoyed: "I'm so happy. If they hadn't been rescued tonight, I don't know what would have happened to the children. I don't know what more to say, a thousand thanks to the rescuers." Having reunited with his wife and children, Mr. Nhan suppressed his pain and led the rescue team through the night of the flood to save others...

The rain intensified, and the rescue team was exhausted, hungry, and cold, but thinking of the people still waiting, everyone persevered. Around 1 AM on November 21st, Mr. Nguyen Thien Van, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, brought two newly rescued residents to the Tay Hoa commune hall. Hundreds of residents were temporarily housed there and provided with food and water.

Make every effort to rescue people and bring them to safety.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Thuy was one of the first people to be rescued. She was provided with food and drink by the local authorities and various individuals and organizations. "I lost everything, but I'm lucky to be alive. My family members are still trapped, but they've been supplied with food and water, so I feel relieved," Ms. Thuy shared.

According to Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Thien Van, the forces are doing their utmost with the spirit of saving lives above all else. Affected people and the community need to remain calm and united to overcome the floods.
