Aug 13 - Vietnam is struggling to deliver aid to people hit by the worst floods in 40 years, amid fresh flooding.

At least 120 people have been killed and another 44 are missing after days of heavy rains triggered by the remnants of a tropical storm in the north of the country.

The government estimates that nearly 800 houses collapsed or were swept away, and thousands of hectares of rice and other crops have been destroyed.
