A severe drought in Long An Province

A severe drought seriously affected a large area in Long An province in early 2013. There had been no rain for 6 months and the temperature reached over 40 degrees Celsius. The drought had serious consequences. In drought areas, the trees and animals died gradually for lack of water. The rice paddies withered and the soil was broken. The people in affected areas didn’t have enough water for their daily activities. To save the desperate situation, hundreds of rescue workers were sent to the drought areas. They brought water tanks to help the thirsty villagers. Moreover, the villagers were advised to limit their outside activities by day. It was expected that the situation would improve soon.
