A severe drought in Long An Province
A severe drought seriously affected a large area in
Long An province in early 2013. There had been no
rain for 6 months and the temperature reached over
40 degrees Celsius. The drought had serious
consequences. In drought areas, the trees and animals
died gradually for lack of water. The rice paddies
withered and the soil was broken. The people in
affected areas didn't have enough water for their
daily activities. To save the desperate situation,
hundreds of rescue workers were sent to the drought
areas. They brought water tanks to help the thirsty
villagers. Moreover, the villagers were advised to
limit their outside activities by day. It was expected
that the situation would improve soon.
