Video captured desperate scenes as boats were used to rescue dozens of trapped construction site workers from rapidly rising floodwaters in Hue, Vietnam on Wednesday 15 November.

The speed with which the waters rose made it impossible for workers to escape, forcing workers to climb onto roofs and other high positions while they waited for rescue boats.

But the waters were moving so fast even boats could not reach them initially and the situation became increasingly desperate.

Eventually, after a lot of effort, rescue boats were able to reach the site and bring the workers to safety.

Continuous rain for many days has caused severe flooding in the central region of Vietnam -- the worst in 10 years, according to some observers.

Video captured the moment of using boats to rescue dozens of workers trapped at construction sites due to rising flood waters in Hue, Vietnam.
According to the man, the floodwaters suddenly rose, making it impossible for workers to move out of their area. The floodwaters got higher and higher, forcing workers to sit on roofs and in high areas waiting for rescue boats. The floodwaters were flowing so fast and dangerous that rescue boats could not reach the area. After many efforts, rescue boats were able to reach the project and bring the workers to safety.
Continuous rain for many days has caused the central region of Vietnam to be severely affected. Many areas are completely isolated due to rising flood waters. This is considered the biggest flood in 10 years in this area
