A bustling market in Western Nghe An was flooded with mud after the flood, leaving small traders empty-handed.

The historic flood that occurred after storm No. 3 caused the entire Hoa Binh market area (Hoa Binh commune) to be submerged in water, damaging all of people's goods.

Heavy rains and sudden water pouring in from upstream caused the water level of Lam River and streams to rise, flooding the center of Hoa Binh commune, including Hoa Binh market, the busiest trading place in the region. Photo: Dinh Tuan

The receding floodwaters left a scene of devastation in the heart of Hoa Binh market. The stalls were in disarray. Many traders could only sit down in the middle of the market, tears streaming down their faces in helplessness. Photo: Dinh Tuan

Ms. Nguyen Thi Huong, a trader at Hoa Binh market, was still in shock when she recounted that the water rose so quickly that she had no time to react and had to stand there watching her kiosk being almost completely flooded. All the capital she had invested here was now considered a total loss. Photo: Dinh Tuan

In the same situation, Mr. Nguyen Van Hien (who sells household electrical appliances) sat absent-mindedly next to a pile of goods that were completely damaged. The whole family now has no place to turn to. Photo: Dinh Tuan
