HANOI, Nov 7 (Reuters): Dozens of people were killed in central Vietnam trying to cross streams or salvage wood in floodwaters, raising the death toll to 82 before a typhoon lands at the weekend, government reports said Wednesday.
Storms and floods since early October have killed nearly 200 people. The disasters caused property and crop damage of $300 million and delayed the coffee harvest in the Central Highlands coffee belt, squeezing supplies to global markets.
In the latest inundation since Oct. 26, at least 82 people had been killed in nine provinces and Danang city, provincial disaster management committees said.
