People in the central region are suffering from multipal multiple historical floods.
The business community is joining hands to provide relief to people in the central region, who have been severely hit by multiple storms and floods.
The storms, floods and resultant landslides have destroyed infrastructure in many places, houses and other structures have collapsed, trees have been felled, households have been left destitute, and many people are injured or dead.
To help people there overcome difficulties, the Government has decided to send 4,000 tonnes of rice to Quang Binh, Quang Tri, Thua Thien-Hue, and Quang Nam provinces.
In the last month, hundreds of charity trips and fundraising activities have been also organised by various organisations, the business community and individuals across the country, with food and other essential items and cash being sent to the victims.
Novaland Group raised VND15 billion from its staff and partners, and late last week it and the local Fatherland Front units in Thua Thien-Hue, Quang Binh and Quang Tri visited and directly handed over donations to people living in severely flood- and landslides-hit areas.
Accompanying the donations this time was support from Anova Safe Food in the form of 1,000 milk cartons.
Truong Thi Man, a farmer in Phu Ho Commune in Thua Thien-Hue’s Phu Vang District, said: “My son worked far from home for many years. He just came back recently. Unluckily, he died in the floods. We are heart-broken but have to try our best to overcome it. We have received condolences and support from neighbours and companies, and we are grateful for that support.”
Bui Ngoc Mua, 90, of Gio Linh District in Quang Tri lost all his 500kg of paddy in the floods.
