The Chosun Ilbo (South Korea)
Vietnamese authorities say the latest floods have killed at least 46 people and another 21 are missing. The count brings the death toll from this month’s floods to more than 100.
Heavy rains have inundated provinces in central Vietnam. Disaster officials say some 200,000 homes were flooded and downpours swamped rice fields.
The government has sent thousands of troops to help with rescue and recovery efforts. Rescuers were able to save 18 people from a bus that was swept off the main north-south highway Monday, but a similar number of passengers remain missing.
The International Red Cross and other humanitarian groups in Vietnam are working to provide the most urgent aid to flood victims.
In neighboring Thailand and Cambodia, the worst flooding in decades has left about 20 people dead in recent days. Thai authorities have warned that runoff from the Central Plains could hit Bangkok in coming days, causing serious flooding in the capital.

When trees are cut down this is the outcome...thanks to Ah Hun Sen..
Cambodia is now a bold placed.
It rain at sea too, ain't no trees in the sea. I take your advice though; when we need rain-cut down more trees?. Better to take these kinds of natural catastrophe as a warning sign from your Creator or be destroy by it. I believe that God is up to shake up the nations to see whether they are awake or blame it on global warming.
