Vietnamese government estimates economic losses of $343m across five provinces due to the floods. The death toll from severe floods in south and central Vietnam has risen to 90, authorities said, as the Southeast Asian country continues to assess the damage after days of relentless rain. In a statement on Sunday, the Vietnamese Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment said some 63 of the deaths since November 16 were recorded in the mountainous central Dak Lak province, where tens of thousands of homes were flooded.
