The death toll from flooding in central Vietnam has risen to 14, state media reports say.
Towns across central Vietnam began reporting rapid flooding beginning on Saturday as the region was hit by an unseasonal monsoon, reported the Vnexpress news site.
Officials in Binh Dinh province reported six deaths as of Wednesday, while five bodies have been found in Quang Nam, two in Quang Tri and one in Thua Thien-Hue.
Floods put much of the port city of Da Nang underwater earlier this week after 635mm of rain fell in a 24-hour period between Saturday and Sunday. Authorities in the country's fourth largest city reported 2550 houses were underwater on Monday at the peak of the floods.
Rain is forecast to continue in the region for the rest of the week, although the floodwaters have begun receding.
