DEADLY TYPHOON
DEADLY TYPHOON: A boy sits in a floating basket as people wade through a flooded street in Hanoi, Vietnam and a woman walks past a fallen tree following the impact of Typhoon Yagi.
Vietnam's capital of Hanoi evacuated thousands of people living near the swollen Red River as its waters rose to a 20-year high, flooding streets days after Typhoon Yagi battered the country's north, killing at least 155 people.
Asia's most powerful typhoon this year, Yagi brought gales and heavy rain as it moved westwards after landfall on Saturday, collapsing a bridge this week while it scythed through provinces along the Red River, the area's biggest. Across the country, the typhoon and subsequent landslides and floods have killed 155 people, while 141 were missing, the government estimated.
