Vietnam flood death toll rises to 90

Floods caused by recent torrential rains in Vietnam have killed at least 90 people in a week, according to a new toll released by the Ministry of Environment on Monday.

More than 60 of the 90 people who died were in the central mountainous province of Dak Lak, where tens of thousands of homes were flooded, the ministry said. An earlier toll had been 55 dead.

Southern and central parts of the Southeast Asian country have been hit by torrential rains since late October, causing repeated floods that have inundated tourist destinations and historical sites.

Entire neighborhoods were flooded in the southern coastal city of Nha Trang last week. Meanwhile, landslides hit the hills around Da Lat (south), which is particularly popular with tourists.

Today, many parts of the highways remained impassable due to flooding or landslides, according to the Ministry of Environment, which clarified that the same applies to some parts of the railway network.

At the same time, more than 129,000 customers were left without electricity, out of up to a million citizens who experienced power outages last week.

The Ministry of Environment estimates that the economic damage due to floods and landslides in five provinces amounts to around 300 million euros.

Recurrent extreme weather events

Vietnam usually experiences heavy rains from June to September. However, scientists say that human-caused climate change is making extreme weather events more frequent, deadlier and more destructive.

Every degree Celsius warmer means the atmosphere can hold 7% more moisture, making rainfall more intense, experts warn.

Between January and October, natural disasters left 279 people dead or missing in Vietnam and caused 1.7 billion euros in damage, according to official figures.

In early October, the country was hit by two deadly typhoons, and in early November, a third also killed many people.

At the end of October, the city of Hue (central), a tourist destination that attracts many people, especially thanks to its imperial monuments, broke the national rainfall record dating back to 1999: it recorded 1.7 meters of rainfall in 24 hours.
