Strange image in Hanoi: People place tea tables in the middle of water

As noted by PV on the afternoon of May 24, the section of road 32 through Tram Troi Town (Hoai Duc, Hanoi) many vehicles struggled to overcome the half-deep water to the wheel.

An alley in zone 7, Tram Troi town is flooded, children in the alley play, “bath” in the middle of the street.

Restaurants on both sides of the road stopped doing business because the water flooded deep into the house.

Mr. Nguyen Nhu Long said: “Water has flooded into the house since May 22, but today the water has not receded, some furniture in the house has to be lifted up, the whole family’s life is dug up. I also do not know the reason why this year this neighborhood is flooded deeply and the water does not recede as quickly as in previous years.”

The alley, about 10m from Mr. Long’s house, was also flooded, some people brought tables to the middle of the alley to drink tea.

“There has never been a year when it was flooded like this year, even though it didn’t rain much. Since the day an urban area sprang up close to here, the situation has been flooded, every year just on the edge of the door, this year flooded the house. The rain has stopped since this afternoon, but the water has not receded,” said Mr. Le Duc Loc.

Pictures of some households overflowing with water in lane 7, Tram Troi town, turned their lives upside down.

Tay Do urban area, Tan Lap commune (Dan Phuong district, Hanoi) is also in a state of deep flooding, according to people here, the internal roads have been flooded for two days now due to heavy rain.

Mr. Nguyen Van Xuan, adjoining area 2 said: “It’s been raining heavily, the water has been flooded for two days now, the roads in the urban area are half a meter deep, many houses have not been able to block the fronts, the water overflows into the houses. My house has to use everything to block the door, prevent water from entering the house.

The immense water in front of the house makes many people unable to go anywhere, because in order to go out, they have to cross a few tens of meters of water, the water is up to half an adult’s thigh.

The workers gathered on high floors, they had to quit work due to the deep water.

Water “encircled” the urban area, causing people’s lives to be turned upside down, a people’s car stalled, had to stop in the middle of the road, walk into the house.

Office workers have a hard time going out even though they walk on the sidewalk.

A delivery worker struggling to find a home wants to deliver goods in the middle of the vast water.

People have to take their motorbikes from home to the outside because they are afraid that the engine will die if they start the engine.
