It also shared social media opinions that praised the bravery of those hotel employees as well as Vietnamese people amid adversity, considering such images as highly emotional and inspiring images.
Mentioning the Vietnamese Government and people’s extraordinary response and rescue efforts, the Enfoque Noticias newspaper cited statistics as showing that Vietnam mobilized all forces, including over 500,000 military personnel, for search, rescue, and evacuation of tens of thousands of people to safe places.
While the El Debate newspaper reported on the enormous human and property losses caused by Yagi, TV channel FORO shared many clips about the devastation of the strongest typhoon in Vietnam in decades. It also compared this storm with Hurricane Otis which made landfall in Mexico in late 2023 and took a heavy toll along the western coast of this country.
El Economista, a business and economics newspaper, covered Yagi’s impacts on economic activities in Vietnam, especially in some export processing zones in the northern region. However, it also held that production-business activities and supply chains will recover soon.
