Comments: | Between 21 July and early August 2025, prolonged torrential rains associated with Tropical Storm No. 3 - Typhoon Wipha (locally known as Storm Koguma), and its remnants caused widespread flooding, flash floods, and landslides across northern and north-central Viet Nam
which includes Quang Ninh, Hai Phong, Hung Yen, Ninh Binh,Thanh Hoa, and Lam Dong provinces. The most severely affected provinces are Son La and Dien Bien according to the report from the Government. Access remains a major challenge in several provinces. In Điện
Biên, landslides and flooding have paralysed key transport routes, isolating communities. In Sơn La, ground cracks threaten further landslides, forcing urgent evacuations. In Nghệ An, Nhôn Mai commune is still cut off, with five destroyed bridges severing access to 21 villages, where ethnic minority households have suffered severe losses to housing and livelihoods. |
