S. Korean medical team arrives in Laos for medical assistance
- 6 years ago
A South Korean medical team is in Laos to help with recovery efforts following the collapse of a dam a week ago and the subsequent flooding.
Over the next 10 days, 15 doctors and five support staff will treat displaced residents of Attapeu Province and help prevent the spread of contagious diseases.
More than 130 people are still missing after last week's dam collapse, which has so far claimed nearly 30 lives.
It's still not known why the dam broke.
It was built by a joint venture that included two Korean companies.
