A scene like a watery battlefield! In Vietnam's coastal city of Nha Trang, a man bravely wades through floodwaters near sunken vehicles. Since late October, heavy rains have refused to stop, drenching south-central Vietnam with relentless floods. The deadly floods have hit popular tourist spots hard, turning vibrant streets into rivers and causing deadly landslides near the Da Lat mountain area. At least 55 people have died across six provinces since November 16, says the environment ministry. The hardest hit is Dak Lak, a mountain province, where over 24 people lost their lives. Even as the floodwaters slowly start to retreat, rescuers are still saving people stuck in treetops and on rooftops, according to state media reports from November 21. The floods have shattered normal life: several highways remain blocked, and over 300,000 people sit in the dark after a huge power blackout that once affected more than a million residents. These disasters are not new to Vietnam; from January to October, natural calamities caused 279 deaths or missing cases and damaged property worth more than $2 billion. Scientists warn that while Vietnam usually faces heavy rains between June and September, climate change made by humans is now stirring up fiercer, more destructive storms. As Vietnam grapples with this watery challenge, the nation hopes the rains will soon ease, and rescue teams continue their heart-pounding work to save those still trapped and missing in the floods.
