Vietnam: Floods and landslides triggered by Typhoon Nida killed three children and left seven missing in northern Vietnam, a disaster official said today.
Nguyen Anh Tuan said a landslide buried a house, killing three children inside, early today morning while authorities are still searching for seven others left missing by landslides and floods in the mountainous province of Lao Cai.
He said that transportation links to the resort town of Sapa, popular with local and foreign tourists, were cut by the landslides.
The flooding and landslides were triggered by heavy rains from Typhoon Nida, which also forced the evacuation of thousands of people in neighboring China.
