Red Cross aids Quang Binh flood victims

A Vietnam Red Cross (VNRC) delegation led by Vice Chairman Nguyen Huu Hong has donated VND1.5 billion in cash and goods to local victims of recent floods.

Deputy Provincial People’s Committee Chairman Tran Tien Dung briefed the delegation which paid an October 5 visit to Quang Binh province, on the damages caused by storm Wutip, adding that the province is currently focused on housing reconstruction.

He called on domestic and international charitable organisations to lend tropical storm victims a helping hand.

Hong passed on his condolences to the flood victims and encouraged the community to unite and overcome the storm’s repercussions. He hoped the distributed support can help the recovery and stabilise local lives.

The VNRC has already provided those most in need with 200 boxes of essential commodities, including blankets, pans, and water kettles, worth VND100 million.
