Hanoi (VNA) - The Central Relief Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Central Committee on November 22 decided to allocate 80 billion VND (3.03 million USD) to assist four central provinces severely affected by recent flooding - Lam Dong, Khanh Hoa, Dak Lak and Gia Lai - with each receiving 20 billion VND.

Representing the Party, State and VFF, Politburo member and permanent member of the Party Central Committee’s Secretariat Tran Cam Tu handed over support to Khanh Hoa.

VFF President Bui Thi Minh Hoai presented the funding to Lam Dong, while Standing Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh and Minister of National Defence General Phan Van Giang delivered assistance to Dak Lak and Gia Lai respectively.

The support reflects nationwide solidarity, with the funding to be disbursed promptly and transparently to help residents stabilise their lives and restore production.

The Central Relief Committee reported that as of November 22, contributions through the VFF system had surpassed 1.4 trillion VND.

This includes 618.5 billion VND pledged by organisations via the committee but transferred directly to affected localities, notably the 500-billion-VND package from the Kind Heart Foundation of Vingroup, as well as donations from Hanoi, Can Tho, Ecopark, Samsung Vietnam and Honda Vietnam. An additional 112.596 billion VND was raised during the Autumn Fair, and over 701 billion VND has been sent directly to the Committee in cash and essential goods.

Nationwide, VFF bodies at all levels have mobilised more than 2.8 trillion VND for flood relief. The Central Relief Committee alone has allocated nine support packages totalling 678.18 billion VND to 23 provinces, while localities and units have provided another 118.5 billion VND. The Kind Heart Foundation has already disbursed over 350 billion VND - 70% of its pledge.

Meanwhile, Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee Tran Luu Quang presented 50 billion VND in emergency support raised from officials and residents of the city to Khanh Hoa.

Earlier, a team of 50 doctors from the city arrived in Nha Trang to provide medical services, while the HCM City Military Command delivered 1,450 life jackets and rescue buoys.

On November 21, the HCM City VFF Committee Committee received 15 tonnes of relief goods, transported overnight to the central region.
