At least 23 people were killed and dozens were hurt or missing in Vietnam after Typhoon Molave slammed into the central provinces earlier this week, destroying homes and crops along its path, the government said.
Molave is “one of the two most powerful storms Vietnam has had in the past 20 years,” according to a statement on the government website citing Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung who had visited the affected areas.
