The death toll in Vietnam has risen to 233 following the aftermath of Typhoon Yagi, which made landfall last Saturday. The typhoon brought heavy rains that triggered flash floods and landslides, particularly in the mountainous north of the country. As of now, 103 people are still missing, and over 800 individuals have been injured.
The United Nations children's agency, UNICEF, reported that the storm and its aftermath have caused significant damage to health facilities, schools, and homes. More than 3 million people are currently without access to safe drinking water. UNICEF is working with the government and other partners to provide emergency aid, including bottled water, purification tablets, and filtration systems.
