The recent floods, which struck from October 25 to 31, brought unprecedented rainfall, with Tra Giap Commune recording 1,548 mm of precipitation.
The disaster caused 12 fatalities, 4 missing persons, 47 injuries and material losses exceeding VND 837 billion, while multiple communes and wards were submerged and landslides disrupted roads and infrastructure.
In October, the AHA Centre also provided humanitarian assistance for residents hit by storms and floods in the northern province of Cao Bang.
This emergency assistance is part of a broader international response. Since early October 2025, embassies and international organisations have pledged over US$ 10.5 million in aid to northern and central provinces affected by typhoons and subsequent floods.
