Essentials were delivered on Thursday to flood-stricken Le Thuy District of central Quang Binh Province, which is suffering its worst flooding in 41 years. 

Quang Binh's Le Thuy District has been buried in a sea of water these past few weeks. Flooding in the province has eclipsed 1979 records by nearly a meter.

Disaster relief efforts have been largely impeded by the adverse weather conditions.

Despite floodwater receding Thursday and main traffic routes in Quang Binh being restored, several areas in Le Thuy remained inundated. On Thursday morning, vehicles carrying disaster relief lined National Highway 1A, from where local authorities and residents retrieved essential supplies via boats.

Several girls pick out used clothes among the provided goods.

Phong, a man from Quang Binh's Cam Thuy Commune, said: "Clothes are very important to those in flood-stricken areas right now, as theirs have either been soaked or swept away. But leaving clothes on the national highway could be dangerous because there's a lot of traffic. I hope benefactors put clothes either inside boxes or at safer concentration areas."

Le Thi Huong picks out a sweater for her grandson, 3-year-old Gia Khanh.

"I'm happy to be able to get this sweater to fight the cold. The flood has submerged my house and swept away all our belongings," Huong said.

Rain and flood damage to Quang Binh has been deemed the worst in years, according to government officials. At least eight died, 29 were injured and over 100,000 houses flooded in the province.

One of the hardest hit areas is Le Thuy District, as rescue attempts were met with challenges when water levels in Kien Giang River rose to unprecedented heights. More than 26,500 houses in the district were still flooded on Thursday.
