On the morning of July 31, people in Ta Do village, Muong Tip commune, said that some people from Na Muong village, Pha Ven village cluster, Noong Het district, Xieng Khouang province of Laos risked their lives swimming across the fast-flowing Nam Mo river to Ta Do village to ask for help.

The people of Na Muong village said that the village of neighboring Laos was also flooded and suffered heavy damage. For more than 10 days, it has been isolated and the people are gradually falling into a state of shortage, so they risked their lives to cross the river and ask for help from friends and brothers living near the border.
