The bridge swept away by the flood on October 28.


The floodwaters are still on a sharp rise, so authorities have not been able to access the three villages of Dak Pne Commune where around 1,500 people are totally isolated.

Earlier, authorities warned people not to use the bridge due to the flood.

Meanwhile, the Central Highlands province of Gia Lai is also facing torrential rain, resulting in the power loss for some districts.

Due to Storm Molave, Gia Lai, Kon Tum and Dak Lak have allowed local students to temporarily stay at home to ensure safety.
