The death toll in Vietnam from Typhoon Yagi and the landslides and flash floods it triggered has risen to 226, the government's disaster agency said, as flood pressure eased in the capital Hanoi.
The south east Asian country is reeling from the impact of the strongest storm to hit Asia this year, and which made landfall in Vietnam's northeastern coast on Saturday.
More than 100 people remain missing, while some 800 people have been injured, the agency said in a report.
Several districts in capital Hanoi remain flooded, but the weather agency late in the day said flood pressure had eased, while flash floods and landslides continued to affect areas across northern Vietnam.
The city earlier evacuated thousands of people living near the swollen Red River as its waters rose to a 20-year high.
"There's a lot of heartbreak in the city and there was a lot of concern going into the evening," said charity Blue Dragon Children's Foundation co-CEO Skye Maconachie. "Many people who barely had anything have lost everything."
"I never thought my house would be under water this deep," said Hoang Van Ty outside his home in Thai Nguyen province.
"My clothes and furniture were all under the water. Many things were floating around too but luckily I closed the doors so nothing was washed away."

The storm downed bridges, tore roofs off buildings and damaged factories after making landfall on Saturday carrying winds in excess of 149km/h.
The north of the country has since been battling severe flooding, with several communities partially underwater.
Thousands have been forced to evacuate their homes, while others are struggling with power cuts.
In one badly hit district on the outskirts of Hanoi, more than 15,000 people have been affected by the floods.
Farmers have also suffered. About 1.5 million chickens and ducks have been killed, as well as 2,500 pigs, buffalo and cows, officials said.
Several Hanoi districts remained inundated with the weather agency forecasting little change in the water levels of the Red River over the next 24 hours, as floods and landslides continued to affect areas in northern Vietnam.
The city had earlier evacuated thousands of people living near the swollen river as its waters rose to a 20-year high.
North of Hanoi, deadly landslides and severe floods are still affecting several areas, according to state media reports.
"I never thought my house would be under water this deep," said Hoang Van Ty outside his home in Thai Nguyen province.
"My clothes and furniture are all under the water. Many things were floating around too but luckily I closed the doors so nothing was washed away."
Thai Nguyen province is home to Samsung Electronics' largest smartphone manufacturing plant in Vietnam. Flood waters have receded in some parts of the province, where clean up efforts are now taking place.
The typhoon has also disrupted power supplies and blown off roofs of several factories in Haiphong and Quang Ninh provinces, halting their production.
Several countries, including Australia, Japan and the United States, have announced that they were sending aid to Vietnam.
