HANOI—Authorities in Vietnam were scrambling on Tuesday to move more than half a million people out of harm’s way ahead of a powerful typhoon set to dump more heavy rain on a central region devastated by weeks of intense weather. Hundreds of flights were canceled and schools closed in affected areas as Typhoon Molave approached over the South China Sea, packing wind speeds of up to 165 kph and expected to make landfall early on Wednesday.“We have very grave fears for the safety of millions of people, as so many have already lost livelihoods and their homes in huge floods,” said Nguyen Hai Anh, head of the Vietnam Red Cross.

“Now a major typhoon is bearing down on central Vietnam, giving no one time to recover,” added Anh, who called the typhoon the latest in the “most damaging series of storms we’ve ever seen”.
