At least 90 people have died and another 12 are missing after days of heavy rain in Vietnam led to flooding and landslides.
The Vietnamese government reports that 186,000 homes have been damaged across the country, with more than three million livestock swept away, estimating damages in the hundreds of millions of pounds.
The mountainous province of Dak Lak has been especially hard-hit, recording over 60 deaths since November 16.
These floods are the latest in a series of extreme weather events affecting Vietnam, which has recently faced the impacts of typhoons Kalmaegi and Bualoi.
As of Sunday morning, approximately 258,000 people were without power, and major transportation routes were obstructed.
The government has mobilized military and police resources to assist in the most severely affected areas. Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính convened an emergency meeting virtually while attending the G20 summit in South Africa.
Rainfall levels exceeded 1.5m (5ft) in various locations, with some areas experiencing the most significant rainfall since 1993. Although rain is expected to lighten, scientists warn that human-induced climate change has left Vietnam increasingly vulnerable to severe weather phenomena.
Mach Van Si, a farmer from Dak Lak, expressed despair over the devastation, stating, Our neighborhood was completely destroyed. Nothing was left. Everything was covered in mud.
