According to Reuters, death toll from weeks of flooding and landslides in central Vietnam has risen to 111, with 22 people still missing.

More than 7,200 hectares of food crops have been submerged and damaged, and more than 691,000 cattle and poultry have been killed or swept away in flood water, according to the state-run Vietnam News Agency (VNA). Sixteen national highways and 161,880 meters of local roads in four provinces have also been damaged.
