HANOI: The ancient Vietnamese city of Hue, a world heritage site popular with tourists, was underwater on Wednesday (Nov 15) after heavy rain flooded thousands of homes and blocked highways.
Pictures on state media showed residents navigating flooded streets in boats, while homes and cars were partially submerged.
“The city is flooded everywhere, with waters rising very quickly since Tuesday night,” Hue resident Vu An told AFP, adding that power had been cut off in the city.
Heavy rain has pounded several provinces along the coast since Monday.
More than 2,000 people have evacuated their homes in central Quang Tri province, where three people are missing, authorities said on Wednesday.
