In order to help poor families in Quang Binh overcome consequences caused by the storm, the Save the Children benefits about 1,200 households, including 2,400 children in four poor communes in Quang Trach and Bo Trach districts.

This is part of a 130,000 USD programme by the organisation to help Quang Binh families affected by the storm.

Country Director Gunnar Andersen said that in the time ahead Save the Children will continue calling for more support to help locals overcome consequences by disasters.

At the working session, Vice Chairman Tran Tien Dung briefly informed of heavy consequences by the storm and sincerely thanked Save the Children and Mr. Gunnar Fridtjof Andersen for assistance. Vice Chairman Dung hopes to continue receiving more support from the Save the Children for poor families in Quang Binh.
