HANOI 31 Okt. - Banjir yang melanda kawasan tengah Vietnam sejak seminggu lalu menyebabkan 19 penduduk terbunuh sementara air sedalam sekurang-kurangnya satu meter memenuhi jalan-jalan raya di sekitar ibu negara.

Menurut Jawatankuasa Pencegahan Hujan dan Ribut Kebangsaan, air lumpur membanjiri berpuluh-puluh rumah penduduk serta beratus-ratus hektar kawasan pertanian di Ha Tinh iaitu wilayah yang menyaksikan tujuh penduduknya terkorban dalam bencana alam ini.

"Seorang lelaki berusia 48 tahun dihanyutkan oleh air selepas memberi makan kerbau-kerbaunya dan seorang lagi terbunuh ketika mengerjakan sawah," lapor jawatankuasa tersebut.

Lebih banyak kematian dilaporkan berlaku di wilayah Nghe An, Quang Ngai dan Quang Nam.

Hujan lebat berterusan sejak minggu lalu turut mengakibatkan air sungai semakin meningkat serta banjir kilat dan kejadian tanah runtuh berlaku secara mengejut di beberapa wilayah.

Di ibu negara, jalan-jalan raya kini bertukar menjadi sungai yang dipenuhi air mengakibatkan kesesakan teruk serta orang ramai terperangkap dalam banjir selepas kenderaan mereka rosak.

Negara ini sememangnya kerap dilanda hujan lebat dan ribut tropika dan pada tahun lalu, sejumlah 435 penduduk terbunuh atau hilang dalam kejadian banjir dan tanah runtuh.

Vietnam issues new flood alert, death toll 20

HANOI (Reuters) - Vietnamese authorities warned of more flash floods in the north of the country on Saturday and Sunday as the death toll from a week of heavy rains and floods rose to 20, the government said.

Streets in the capital Hanoi remained submerged with up to 1 metre (yard) of water after torrential rains, described as the heaviest since 1984.

"It is a total nightmare here, no one would ever think this kind of flood can happen in the capital," said Nguyen Minh Hai, who spent Friday night stuck in his car.

Rescue workers were searching for a doctor for the National Sports Athlete Clinic in Hanoi who was believed to have been washed away in a canal on Friday, the Vietnam News Agency reported.

Torrential rain continued to pound northern Vietnam on Saturday, the weather office said, threatening dangerous flash floods in six mountainous provinces.

"Flash floods on the Hoang Long river in the north and rivers from Thanh Hoa to Nghe An will continue to rise," the government's storm and flood control committee said in a flood report on Saturday.

The report said at least nine people were killed on Friday alone in several northern and central provinces including two children in the capital Hanoi, taking the total toll in the past week to more than 20.

Many residents in Hanoi abandoned their cars and motorcycles.

More than 400 mm 330 mm of rain had pounded Hanoi since Friday, halting traffic, while landslides had eroded many sections of the north-south Ho Chi Minh highway in Thua Thien-Hue province.

Vietnam's main agricultural area, including the Central Highlands coffee belt and the Mekong Delta rice basket, has not been affected by the floods, although rain disrupted coffee harvesting this week.

The harvest is due to peak in mid-November in the Central Highlands, two weeks earlier than usual, but rain could prolong the drying process and damage bean quality, traders have said.

Typhoons and floods have killed several hundred people in northern and central provinces since the start of this year. The flood and storm season ends next month in the central region, which is widely exposed to the sea.

HANOI - Banjir dan hujan lebat yang melanda sejak dua hari lepas mengorbankan sekurang-kurangnya 23 orang di tengah dan utara Vietnam dengan ibu negara berkenaan, Hanoi merupakan lokasi paling teruk terjejas, kata pegawai-pegawai semalam.

Pegawai Jawatankuasa Pencegahan Banjir dan Ribut Kebangsaan, Hoang Quang Dung berkata, mangsa-mangsa yang mati, termasuk empat kanak-kanak, meninggal dunia akibat lemas atau dihempap pokok, rumah runtuh, terkena kejutan elektrik atau dipanah petir.

"Hujan melanda utara dan tengah Vietnam dari wilayah Phu Tho hingga Ha Tinh. Ia diramal berterusan sehingga Rabu ini," katanya.

Pihak berkuasa Vietnam turut memberitahu bahawa kira-kira 55,000 buah rumah dan 180,000 hektar tanaman telah ditenggelami air dan anggaran kemusnahan harta benda pula mencecah berpuluh-puluh juta dolar.

Di Hanoi sahaja, hujan yang disifatkan paling lebat sejak tahun 1984 melanda bandar raya itu selama dua hari bermula Jumaat lepas dan mengorbankan sembilan orang.

Cuaca ekstrem itu turut menjadikan lalu-lintas di Hanoi huru-hara sehingga menyebabkan penduduk kota terkandas. - AFP

Vietnam flood toll rises to 22; more rain to come

HANOI (Reuters) - More heavy rain is forecast to strike mountainous northern Vietnam on Monday after floods and landslides last week killed 22 people and left 14 others missing, the government said.

Thirteen people died in Bac Kan province and another 10 were missing as their homes were buried in landslides triggered by heavy rains late last Friday, the government said in its updated disaster report.

Nine people have died in another five provinces and four remained unaccounted for, the report said, adding that more heavy rains were forecast to strike the region, one of Vietnam's most impoverished area.

Vietnam is often struck by floods and storms between July and October but the government has said 47 people were dead or missing from natural disasters in the first half of this year.

The flood-stricken area bordering China is far outside Vietnam's main growing region for its key commodities rice and coffee.

On the Chinese side, flooding and heavy rain have forced 550,000 people to evacuate their homes and killed at least 15, Xinhua news agency reported on Sunday.
