HÀ NỘI — The water level in the Hồng (Red) River has risen due to Typhoon Yagi, the third typhoon this year.
As a result, many ornamental tree-growing areas in Phú Thượng peach village, Nhật Tân, and Tứ Liên kumquat village have been severely flooded.
The trees were submerged in water for several days, causing root rot and mass die-offs, leaving many households with long-standing traditional livelihoods empty-handed.
