I have learned that the number of fatalities in the capsizing incident at Ha Long Bay, Vietnam, has risen to 34.
On the afternoon of July 19th local time, a ferry carrying 53 people capsized due to thunderstorms in Ha Long Bay, Vietnam.
The Prime Minister of Vietnam, Pham Minh Chinh, issued an urgent notice on the same day, demanding an immediate search and rescue operation for the capsizing incident in the waters of Ha Long Bay, Quang Ninh Province, and to fully commit to the aftermath efforts. (Reported by Fu Xinri)
