Hundreds of people dead and more than half a million displaced as Vietnam pummelled by Typhoon Yagi
More than 300 people in northern Vietnam have been reported dead or missing in the wake of Typhoon Yagi – the most severe storm to have hit Southeast Asia this year and the worst to have struck Vietnam in 30 years. Child’s rights and humanitarian organisation Plan International has deployed teams to assess the extent of damage and immediate needs of families in areas hardest hit by the disaster.
