Death toll in Vietnam floods hits 200
The death toll in month-old floods in southern Vietnam's Mekong Delta has hit 200.
Relief officials say 164 of the victims are children.
The damage to the Delta's battered infrastructure is now estimated at at least 40 million U-S dollars.
It's the third year in a row that Vietnam has been hit by killer floods -- some 600 people died on the central coast in 1999.
The annual spate on the Mekong has also claimed at least 56 lives in neighbouring Cambodia this year.
