Mekong Delta - The Red Cross said yesterday it was appealing for fresh emergency aid for Vietnam, where the worst floods in decades have killed at least 13 people and driven up to 150,000 from their homes.
Monsoon rains dumped more unwelcome torrents into the stricken Mekong Delta rice bowl yesterday and the rising floods threatened to drive a further 500,000 people from low-lying homes to seek safety on often crumbling dykes.
