HÀ NỘI — While Typhoon Yagi has passed, but its trail of destruction is still very much visible across northern Việt Nam. 

Widespread damages includes uprooted trees, damaged signboards and toppled electric poles. Many homes have had their roofs torn off, and local streets remain littered with debris.

In response, provincial People's Committees have taken swift action.

They have mobilised all available resources to clear roads, restore electricity and telecommunications and deliver essential supplies to affected residents.

The following photos capture their efforts to restore people's lives following the typhoon:
