Land slide in Hau River

A land slide occurred in Hau River, southern Vietnam, on 22 August 2017. This incident drowned nearly a dozen of houses in the river. 

A victim related that her house including a daughter, a son and her at that moment, drowned in the river. She and her daughter didn't know to swim. Luckily, the son swam to rescue both of them. 

The land slide is a phenomenon that has frequently happened in the southern Vietnam due to illegal exploitation of sand at the bed of a river. The local government has ignored this violation.
