#Floods #submerge #thousands of #homes in #Central #Vietnam

Mother Nature is unleashed in 2022. Several countries are suffering the effects of storms and their residents are experiencing the aftermath of floods. The following article reports images of recent flooding in central Vietnam, a region where flooding and landslides continue. I’m really sad this morning to post this… in the hope that these people get #help. If you know any effective channels of charity organisations…let us know … Your Editor .

Thousands of houses in Quang Nam and Quang Ngai provinces have been left inundated, prompting locals to commute by boat Tuesday.

The entire central region has been battered by floods triggered by heavy rains since last Sunday.
