Following the passage of Typhoon Yagi on the morning of September 8, Hanoi has been in a state of urgent recovery. Residents, alongside police and military personnel, have been working tirelessly to clear fallen trees and assist with damaged vehicles across the city.
On Trung Nhi Street (Nguyen Trai Ward, Ha Dong District), numerous fallen trees obstructed the roads, making travel impossible. Authorities deployed significant manpower and machinery to address the blockages.
On Quang Trung Street (Ha Dong District), three large trees uprooted and collapsed onto nearby buildings, causing substantial damage.
In the Van Quan Urban Area (Van Quan Ward, Ha Dong District), dozens of trees fell, with many landing on parked vehicles, exacerbating the situation.
The blockage of roads has led to significant traffic disruptions, with many streets rendered impassable. Residents have had to navigate through the debris, maneuvering around the fallen trees.
The Military Medical Academy has deployed dozens of personnel to clear trees and rescue vehicles trapped on Chien Thang Street and 19/5 Street.
Phuc La Street (Ha Dong District) remains littered with fallen trees, further complicating recovery efforts.
According to the Department of Dike Management and Flood and Storm Control (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development), as of 5 p.m. on September 7, Typhoon Yagi resulted in four fatalities (three in Quang Ninh and one in Hai Duong) and 78 injuries (58 in Quang Ninh and 20 in Hai Phong).
The storm also caused significant maritime damage, sinking five cement ships and one small wooden boat in Quang Ninh, with one transport ship drifting after breaking its moorings.
Additionally, widespread power outages affected Quang Ninh, Hai Phong, Thai Binh, Hai Duong, and parts of Hanoi, Bac Ninh, and Bac Giang. Numerous homes sustained damage, roofs were torn off, and thousands of trees were toppled across these regions.
