I went to an alley on Tran Van Muoi Street (Xuan Thoi Dong Village 1, Xuan Thoi Dong Commune, Hoc Mon District, Ho Chi Minh City) in the afternoon of heavy rain the night before. Almost a day after heavy rains, but the water in this area has not yet receded, the water still shines, flooding people’s homes immensely.

The suffering of the Saigon family flooded the house for a whole month before retiring |
The house was flooded for a whole month, he had to go live with the neighbors
The alley where 4 households live is the home of Ms Le Thi Thuy (48 years), Ms Le Thi Len (40 years), Ms Le Thi Long (53 years) and Mr. Le Van Sinh ( 55 years). Households here make a living by raising dairy cows.
People who live here said that in the past there was a historical heavy rain, but the water was poured into the field so that it was not flooded, now the field is full of water, so it rains much more water than flows into the house . The rain lasts about 1 hour, the water begins to enter people’s houses, if the heavy rains take only 40 minutes, it will flood. The water entered the house, but the rain did not recede. For almost a month, Ms. Thuy’s house has been soaked in water.
 |
The floodwaters made Ms. Thuy and her two children move to the house across the street. |
Taking me to the flooded house, Ms. Thuy Rung told me that when I was young or old, she had never known this flood situation, so I did not know what to do. To avoid flooding, the furniture in your house is all placed high with bricks, the dogs and cats in the house are also placed to keep away from the water.
Turning around, all the furniture in the house changes color because it is soaked in water, the legs of the wooden furniture come out little by little. Items are too heavy to carry, Ms. Thuy only has one way to go. Ms Thuy’s family had their electricity cut off to avoid an electrical problem, all electrical appliances in the house are unusable.
The furniture in the house is covered with bricks. |
“Initially, only one brick was listed, the rain was placed on 3 bricks after the flood, now it rains, so there are 5 bricks. Now that it’s raining again, I stop because the grate is too high to fall. The mattress in the house was soaked and could not be removed, ”Ms. Thuy said sadly.
All appliances are not working |
Looking at the house flooded with water, Ms. Thuy’s eyes were red again. She relied on her hard work before saving the house, now looking at the house flooded with water, she couldn’t help but feel unhappy.
“My property has been submerged in water for many decades, so it is very sad. Soak too long in the ground when dropped. Being there is also a short time, but I don’t know what to do for a long time. How sad, ”she wiped away her tears.
|
The obsession in the house, every time Saigon rained a lot, it deepened |
‘Some more rains would have to migrate’
The townspeople have to build dams to splash water so the cows can sleep. |
“Now that the rain continues, the water is flooded even more, the cows have no place to lie down, the cows will die. Cows that drink water also hurt their stomachs and have diarrhea, all 4-5 children, looking at their cows is very sad. People also itch red rashes all over their bodies due to allergies to dirty water. Suffering, it is better to be poor to eat vegetables and fruits than this situation, ”Ms. Thuy lamented.
The house was not soaked with water, but Ms. Long was still looking sadly at the flooding water ahead. During the heavy rains, her house was still flooded, but she pulled out a water pump to pump the water and put bricks in the house. Unable to use well water, Ms. Long has to buy bottled water for family activities, but she saves only for cooking and bathing and her clothes will still be temporarily washed with well water.
 |
Immense water and pollution |
There is no other way, Ms. Thuy and her neighbors just taste “heavenly” because whatever they want to do, they have to wait for the water to recede before they can do it. But they themselves do not know when the new water recedes.
People have to sell pigs because the stables are flooded. |
Ms Thuy, defenseless, does not know how long the situation will last |
Speaking with PV, the representative of the Xuan Thoi Hiep Commune People’s Committee said that he understood the situation and came to inspect seriously flooded homes. Representatives of the Popular Committee reported that the area of the commune was not large and was in the process of building a drainage system, so in the construction process, the inappropriate occurrence was inevitable.
“Previously, the water from the fields was drained through ditches, but now the canals are installed with integrated sewerage. According to the survey, the commune found that the water pump is not good, so it is proposed to remove the sewer system according to the investor to open the manhole cover to have a water outlet. But seeing that it is not effective, the water is still flooded, so it is suggested to remove a section of sewage to allow the water to stabilize later. We have to accept the loss but let the water flood the field, go to the house, affect the plants and animals in the garden, ”said the representative of the Popular Committee of the Commune.
