Drone Rescue in Đắk Lắk

In Eao commune, Đắk Lắk province, a drone was utilized to rescue an individual whose fishing boat capsized on the Crông Park river. The incident occurred yesterday afternoon when two men were fishing. Heavy rain and strong currents caused their boat to overturn. By 10 PM, when the family could not contact them, authorities were alerted. This morning, one of the men was found trapped by the floodwaters near the C7 bridge. Local residents and commune police successfully deployed a drone for rescue. The search for the second individual is ongoing.

Flood Situation and Relief in Khánh Hòa

Khánh Hòa is experiencing its third consecutive day of flooding. This morning, water levels began to recede, allowing rescue teams to access areas that had been isolated for two days. Despite the receding waters, strong currents in many locations continue to impede rescue and evacuation efforts. Numerous individuals and organizations have mobilized boats, rafts, and personal rescue equipment to assist affected residents. Many elderly, children, and critically ill patients were visibly emotional as rescue teams provided support. For nearly three days, floodwaters have submerged thousands of houses in Khánh Hòa up to their rooftops, forcing many residents to seek refuge on their roofs while awaiting rescue.

Community Solidarity in Quy Nhơn

The historic flood following typhoon number 13 has caused significant losses for the people of Gia Lai, particularly in the Quy Nhơn region. Amidst these challenges, the spirit of solidarity and warmth has helped residents cope with the severe flood. Despite suffering heavy losses from the typhoon, residents of the fishing village of Nhân Lý, Quy Nhơn, have not stood by while those in the flood-stricken Trợ Sinh area face water and food shortages. Over the past two days, dozens of "charity" vehicles have delivered food supplies to the affected population. As of 9 PM, efforts are ongoing to mobilize and deliver essential items like food and candy. Many residents from outside the Nhân Lý fishing village have also temporarily set aside their work to become rescue forces, assisting those in need. Motorcycles and watercraft mobilized from various locations in the old Nhân Lý area are being coordinated to deliver aid and food. Yesterday, over 1,000 food packages were mobilized, and this morning, another 1,000 packages were distributed.

Emotional Impact of Aid

As floodwaters recede, leaving behind water-stained houses and exhausted faces after hours of struggle, the arrival of relief boats carrying hot meals, clean water, and essential supplies has deeply moved the residents. One resident expressed gratitude, stating, "Thank you to the local government and the government for supporting the people during these flood days. Thank you very much." Amidst the raging flood, the spirit of fellow countrymen remains a warm beacon and a source of strength for the people of Quy Nhơn to overcome the disaster and rebuild their lives. The collective effort, with some contributing labor and others providing material aid such as hot meals, clean water, and essential supplies, has brought comfort to the flood-affected population during their most difficult times.

Infrastructure Damage and Road Closures

The Sông Pha pass on National Highway 27 has reopened as of 10 AM today. This route had been closed since the afternoon before yesterday due to over 15 landslide points that emerged after prolonged heavy rainfall. Meanwhile, four major passes in Lâm Đồng province – Pren, Mimosa, Khánh Lê, and Dran – are completely paralyzed, causing severe traffic disruptions. Many sections have experienced significant landslides, with negative retaining walls eroded tens of meters deep. In response to the emergency, the Directorate for Roads of Vietnam has requested the Road Management Department 4 to urgently provide 5,000 cubic meters of stone to stabilize critical points. As of 6 AM today, approximately 30 locations on national highways in the South Central region remain subject to localized flooding, causing traffic congestion. Several routes have suffered severe damage, including Trường Sơn Đông road with 14 blocked sections and National Highway 40B with seven blocked sections. Vital transportation routes such as National Highways 20, 28, and 27 have sustained heavy damage, posing significant road safety risks and isolating many areas.

Railway Disruptions

Today, Vietnam Railways announced the continued suspension of numerous train services from Hanoi, Da Nang, and Ho Chi Minh City. Since November 17th, 25 train services have been canceled, affecting 11,000 passengers. Vietnam Railways stated that ticket refunds and exchanges will be processed according to regulations. The corporation also reported that infrastructure management workers are on standby 24/7 at critical points to inspect and address any incidents, ensuring absolute safety before resuming train operations.
