The remarkable recovery of Hoang Thao Ngoc, an 11-year-old Mong ethnic girl and the last survivor of the devastating flash flood that engulfed Lang Nu village in Bao Yen District, Lao Cai Province, in September 2024, has reignited hopes in a grieving community.
More than a week after the devastating flash flood in Lang Nu village, Phuc Khanh Commune, Bao Yen District, Lao Cai Province, the Primary and Secondary School Phuc Khanh No. 1 has welcomed its students back to class, including 107 students from Lang Nu village.
After inspecting recovery efforts in the northern province of Yen Bai following recent floods, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh arrived in the neighbouring Lao Cai province's Lang Nu village, which was hit by a devastating landslide that buried 37 households and left 95 people dead or missing, on September 12 afternoon.
