On Friday, the number of deaths resulting from Typhoon Yagi in Vietnam increased to 233 as rescue teams continued to find bodies in areas affected by landslides and floods, according to state media reports.

The Red River's floodwaters in Hanoi were gradually receding, but some neighborhoods were still submerged, and experts predicted that it could take several days for relief to arrive in the north.

On Saturday, Typhoon Yagi hit the land, causing heavy rainfall that led to flash floods and landslides, particularly in Vietnam's mountainous north. As a result, 103 people are still missing and over 800 have been injured.

On Monday, Nguyen Thi Loan hastily fled her home in A Lac village, which was located on the outskirts of Hanoi. Now, as she returned to the village, she saw that much of it was still underwater. She wondered how she and others would manage in the aftermath of the flood.

""Our rice crop has been destroyed and at home our electrical appliances like the washing machine, TV, and fridge are underwater due to the flood," she stated."

On Tuesday, a flash flood swept away the entire hamlet of Lang Nu in the province of Lao Cai, resulting in 48 fatalities and 39 missing villagers. Eight villagers survived and returned to tell others that they had left before the flood.

The rescue effort for Lang Nu is hampered due to the poor condition of the roads leading to the area.

On Thursday, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh pledged that the 500 personnel with sniffer dogs would not stop searching for the missing individuals.

"Their families are in agony," Chinh said.

In anticipation of the worst, coffins were piled up near the disaster site, while villager Tran Thi Ngan grieved at a makeshift altar for her loved ones who had perished.

"VTV news was informed by her that it's a disaster and that's the fate they must accept."

In Cao Bang, a northern province adjacent to China, 21 bodies were retrieved by Friday, four days after a landslide caused a bus, car, and motorcycles to fall into a small river filled with floodwater. Ten individuals are still missing.

According to experts, the intensity of storms like Typhoon Yagi is increasing due to climate change, as warmer ocean waters provide more energy to fuel them, resulting in stronger winds and heavier rainfall.

The typhoon, one of the strongest to hit Vietnam in decades, caused flooding and landslides in neighboring countries, including northern Thailand, Laos, and northeastern Myanmar.

In Thailand, 10 deaths have been reported due to flooding or landslides, and Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra flew to the north on Friday to visit the border town of Mae Sai. The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation in Thailand has warned of a continuing risk of flash floods in multiple areas through next Wednesday, as new rain is expected to increase the Mekong River's levels further.

At least 33 people have died in Myanmar since Wednesday, according to the army. Additionally, 187 relief camps have been set up for nearly 240,000 flood victims from 34 townships.

Reports indicate that the number of missing individuals in floods and landslides in central regions, including Mandalay and Bago, as well as eastern Shan State and Naypyitaw, may significantly increase the death toll.

In the aftermath of Yagi, Vietnam has been receiving international aid, including humanitarian supplies from Australia as part of $2 million in assistance.

The U.S. Embassy announced on Friday that it would provide $1 million in aid to South Korea through the USAID.

"USAID's disaster experts are closely coordinating with local emergency authorities and partners to monitor humanitarian needs and ensure rapid delivery of U.S. assistance in response to the forecasted heavy rain."

The damage caused by the typhoon and heavy rains in northern provinces, including Haiphong, could affect international supply chains, as factories like VinFast, Apple parts suppliers, and electronic manufacturers are located there, according to a research note from the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

The center stated that 95% of businesses in Haiphong would resume operations on Sept. 10, but repair efforts may decrease output for the upcoming weeks and months.
