HANOI, Vietnam (AP) Flooding in Vietnam's southern Mekong Delta has left 230,000 people in need of emergency food aid and killed 56 people, most of them children who were left alone while their parents were tending fields, officials said Saturday. The government said that 105,000 homes have been inundated since late August, when heavy rains started the flooding. Forty-seven of the deaths were children.

Teams of militiamen and volunteers have evacuated more than 62,000 people to higher ground and are working each died in the provinces of Long An and Kien Giang, provincial flood control bureaus said. The number of children dead is high because many poor farmers must still tend their fields and are forced to leave their children at home, Loi said. Most of the children where killed when the floods swept into their homes. Bui Dat Tram, director of the weather forecasting center in An Giang province, said water levels in the Mekong River were receding slowly but remained dangerously high. to evacuate thousands more.

Vietnam's Red Cross said it plans to launch an international appeal for the flood victims next week. Only about $6,600 in aid has been distributed to 5,000 people, In the worst-hit province of Dong Thap, where 27 people died, authorities are stepping up a campaign to urge people to leave dangerous areas, said Dang Ngoc Loi of the provincial flood control bureau.

AP Photo A surfer rides a wave at Windsor beach in Tuckers Town as the surf crashes because of Hurricane Erin as it came to its closest point to Bermuda on Sunday. Earlier projections showed Erin, the first named hurricane of the 2001 Atlantic season, coming within 15 miles of Bermuda, but its track shifted slightly. Instead, the storm was expected to pass within 75 miles northeast of the island late Sunday. Islanders on Bermuda brace for close brush with Hurricane Erin At a nospitai tuna-raising dinner in Sydney on Saturday, Clinton said hundreds of thousands of people around the world would become refugees if climate change isn't addressed. "The science is unassailable.

If the world keeps growing for the next 50 years warmer as it has for the last decade, you're going to see some of the small nations in the Pacific actually flooded," he said. "If you're worried about 400 people, you just let the world keep warming up like this AT. 6- it i Clinton i A i shelter for those living in vulnerable areas, officials said. Police Commissioner Jonathan Smith said special preparations were being made because the hurricane was strengthening. "We are exercising caution on this one," Smith said.

Bermuda, which lies about 560 miles off the coast of North Carolina, last had a hurricane in 1999 when Gert battered the south shore, causing damage and knocking out power to 12,000 homes. But unlike other islands, Bermuda which was settled by British colonists who were shipwrecked on their way to Virginia enjoys one of the highest average incomes in the world. Many of the homes have been built to withstand lashing hurricane-strength winds. "I have been through a few hurricanes and I am fairly relaxed," said teacher Duncan Ashworth. Others were more concerned.

"I take it seriously. I will bring in garden furniture, tape up windows and doors and get the candles out," said Jacqui Lewis, a real estate agent. HAMILTON, Bermuda (AP) Hurricane Erin roared toward Bermuda on Sunday, forcing the government to set up shelters and prepare for the worst on this wealthy island of posh resorts and sturdy homes. But the first named hurricane of the 2001 Atlantic season was expected to pass 75 miles northeast of Bermuda late Sunday afternoon. Eric Blake, a forecaster with the U.S.

National Hurricane Center in Miami, said Bermuda would likely be spared heavy rains and hurricane force winds, but might have large swells on the northeastern coast. "Most of the rain will stay offshore. They'll get some but it won't be in the extreme," Blake said. Forecasters said Erin was strengthening and could become a Category 3 or major hurricane later Sunday. They projected earlier Erin would come within 15 miles of Bermuda, but its track shifted slightly.

It would likely spin out to sea, although the storm might pose a threat to Canadian waters in a few days, said AP Photo Greg and Heather Hughes from Princeton, New Jersey stop off at a viewpoint on the South Shore beach in Hamilton, Warwick Parish, Bermuda on Sunday to get a better look at the surf as Hurricane Erin approaches the Island. for the next 50 years and your grandchildren will be worried about 400,000 people," he added. Early last week, the Australian government sparked international criticism by barring a Norwegian ship carrying 433 asylum seekers from docking in Australia. Prime Minister John Howard said he wants to stem a tide of would-be immigrants who arrive each year by the thousands hoping to be given refugee status. Climate change has been a topic of contention between the United States and other countries.

Earlier this year, the Bush administration abandoned the Kyoto climate treaty aimed at stopping global warming, saying it would harm the U.S. economy. Bush has said he would instead rely on voluntary actions by industry and development of new technologies to capture carbon releases and reduce energy use. Earlier Saturday, Australia's navy intercepted another boat carrying about 200 suspected illegal immigrants to Australia. The asylum seekers were being taken to Papua New Guinea before flying to New Zealand and the Pacific island of Nauru for processing of their asylum applications.

Buses and ferries were canceled for Sunday and Bermuda's 60,000 people were warned to stay off the roads to avoid being hit by debris and to allow emergency vehicles to pass. Authorities also called out a 566-member part-time regiment to help prepare for the hurricane at strategic points.

At 11 a.m. EDT, Erin's maximum sustained winds had reached nearly 105 mph. The hurricane was located about 125 miles east of Bermuda and was moving northwest at about 14 mph. Hurricane-force winds extended up to 45 miles from the storm's center, and tropical storm force winds extended outward up to.
