According to local media such as VnExpress, a video was released on the 27th in the Nuoc Mai Valley in the Tradoc region of Danang City, central Vietnam, where bereaved families carried coffins through the torrent.
In the video, they carefully crossed the riverbed with strong currents and rocks while holding a rope made of vines collected from the forest and maintaining a human band. The width of the river is known to be about 20 meters, and while carrying the coffin, some slipped on the recessed terrain and the coffin tilted, but they regained their balance and eventually moved the deceased across safely.
According to local officials, the deceased A had been dead for three days and had to be buried immediately in accordance with the tradition of ethnic minorities, but the funeral was delayed due to heavy rain. As the rain subsided and the water level decreased, the villagers headed to the cemetery in the forest with coffins.
According to foreign media, Vietnam has been inundated in central areas such as Da Nang and Hoi An since the 23rd due to record heavy rains, and at least 35 people have been killed and five missing in floods.
In addition, more than 100,000 homes were flooded and 10 mountainous areas were isolated due to landslides and torrents.
The damage to crops was also severe, flooding numerous paddy fields and fields, and killing about 4,000 livestock.
The military and police have been deployed to rescue operations and are using drones to deliver food and daily necessities to isolated areas.
However, the rescue operation is slow due to continuous heavy rain.
Vietnam's meteorological authorities warned that heavy rain could continue in the central area until the night of the 4th, and that additional flood damage was feared.
