Hanoi, Nov 6 (AFP) The number of people killed by floods in central Vietnam rose to 107, as officials said today the new estimate of damage caused by Mirinae was at least USD 120 million.

A further 11 people were still listed as missing after the Tropical Depression struck on Monday, bringing the most devastating floods in decades to some areas, the national flood and storm control committee said in a report.

Most of the dead were from the country's easternmost province of Phu Yen, where 72 fatalities were recorded.

River levels were receding today, Duong Van Huong, head of the provincial storm and flood committee, told AFP.

However, rescue activities were still being conducted by boat in certain hard-hit areas, the committee said.

"Some 200,000 students in Phu Yen are still unable to go to school", Huong said.
