Many canals running through residential areas in Ho Chi Minh City have lost parts of their barriers, putting local people, especially children, at risk.

 

HCMC is home to around 110 rivers and canals stretching nearly 1,000 kilometers in combination, a dense system that contributes to the city’s tourism development, facilitates good transportation, regulates the overall temperature, and eases urban flooding.

 

However, a lack of proper safety management has posed threats for those living alongside the waterways. Most recently, two children aged six and four had drowned in So Ro Canal flowing through Thanh Xuan Ward of District 12 on Monday.
