HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — The death toll in the aftermath of a typhoon in Vietnam has climbed to 233 as rescue workers recover more bodies from areas hit by landslides and flash floods. Flood waters from the swollen Red River in the capital, Hanoi, were beginning to recede, but many neighborhoods remain inundated. Farther north, experts are predicting it could still be days before any relief is in sight. Typhoon Yagi made landfall Saturday, starting a week of heavy rains that have triggered flash floods and landslides, particularly in Vietnam’s mountainous north. More than 100 people are still listed as missing as of Friday.
