Vietnam's southern Ho Chi Minh City is forecast to face a flood-tide in the next three days, the biggest over the past 48 years, local newspaper People's Army reported Tuesday.
The flood-tide started to hit some districts, including Thu Duc, Binh Thanh, Hoc Mon, Cu Chi and Binh Chanh on Nov. 25, breaking some sections of dykes and inundating several districts in the localities. A number of roads and facilities have been submerged around one meter in water.
Local residents said they suffer from flood-tide twice a month, but the ongoing flood-tide has affected their daily life too much.
Besides natural conditions, poor planning and construction of dykes in Ho Chi Minh City are attributed to the situation, the residents said.
