Sydney (VNA) - Australia is providing up to 3 million AUD in humanitarian assistance to Vietnam following Typhoons Bualoi and Matmo, as these consecutive typhoons have led to widespread destruction and flooding across northern and central Vietnam.

A joint media release issued by Australian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister for International Development Anne Aly noted that: "Our thoughts are with the people of Vietnam during this difficult time.

Australia’s support will include emergency relief supplies such as kitchen kits, hygiene kits and shelter tool kits. Australia will also mobilise the Australian Humanitarian Partnership to enable Australian non-government organisations to deliver lifesaving assistance. This funding will also provide support through United Nations agencies."

The media release quoted Wong as saying: "We know the path to recovery will take some time and as longstanding friends and partners, Australia stands with Vietnam in its time of need. Australia will continue to work with Vietnam on immediate relief efforts and building disaster resilience."

Meanwhile, Aly emphasised that: "Our thoughts are with the families and communities affected by the recent destructive Typhoons. Australia and Vietnam are partnering together to ensure families and the most vulnerable, including women, children, and people with disability, receive lifesaving assistance."/.
