Five days after midnight floods poured into the two villages of Tung Nun and Lung Tam Thap, roads leading to the area had been cleared for vehicles on June 29. Nhan Dan reporters have arrived at the scene to document the heavy losses to locals after floods and landslides swept across Lung Tam commune, in Quan Ba district, in the northernmost province of Ha Giang.
Heavy rain caused a
landslide and large boulders blocked the only path leading to the Lung Tam
commune People's Committee.
The road from the
Commune People's Committee to Lung Tam Thap and Tung Nun hamlets has been
cleared but is still full of mud and flood debris.
One of the worst
affected areas is Tung Nun hamlet. Houses and crops were washed away in one
night.
An elderly ethnic
woman walks through the middle of her family’s corn field. Most of the field
was swept away in the floods.
Members of a family in
Lung Tam Thap hamlet are cleaning their damaged property. Fortunately, the
flash flood avoided their house by mere inches.
But it was not so for
the family of Thao Thi My and her 17-year-old son Vang Mi Sau, as their house
was swept away by the floods.
Tung Nun school has
been designated as a temporary shelter for families who lost their homes during
the floods.
The campus has become
a community living space for families recovering from the devastation.
School grounds have
also become the children’s playground.
Classrooms are now
temporary homes for flood victims who lost their homes and livelihoods.

These days, offices, all roads, and residential areas in Hoa Binh province are decorated with flags, flowers, banners, hoardings, and bright slogans to welcome National Day on September 2. Below are some images captured by Hoa Binh Newspaper reporters in Hoa Binh City and some districts in the province.
Over the past three decades, Cao Phong town has leveraged its spirit of unity, dynamism, and creativity to utilise opportunities and overcome challenges, leaving significant milestones in economic and social development. The town has made substantial progress in various sectors while maintaining national defence and security.
Since the passing of Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong on July 19, offices and private houses in Hoa Binh city have flown flags half-mast to commemorate the Party chief.
After 30 years since its establishment (August 1st, 1994 - August 1st, 2024), Cao Phong town has made significant progress, from a mountainous agricultural town facing many difficulties to becoming the political, economic and social center of the district, aiming to build a civilized, modern urban area, which is rich in the cultural identity.
In his 14 years as the leader of the Communist Party of Vietnam, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong visited Hoa Binh province three times. Each locality, unit, and enterprise visited by the General Secretary, and every household and wounded soldier kindly encouraged and given gifts by the late leader always remember and deeply keep in their mind the feelings of their beloved leader.
