Vietnam Typhoon Death Toll Climbs To 233

HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — The death toll in the aftermath of a typhoon in Vietnam has climbed to 233 as rescue workers recovered more bodies from areas hit by landslides and flash floods. Flood waters from the swollen Red River in the capital, Hanoi, were beginning to recede somewhat, but many neighborhoods remained inundated and farther north experts were predicting it could still be days before any relief was in sight. Typhoon Yagi made landfall Saturday, starting a week of heavy rains that have triggered flash floods and landslides, particularly in Vietnam’s mountainous north. More than 100 people are still listed as missing as of Friday.
