Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai stopped over in Quang Binh
province on October 7 as part of his field trip to the flood-hit central
region.
Hai went straight to the worst-flooded district of Quang Trach to work with local administration on rescue measures and to share sympathy with victims at their homes.
The disaster killed 33 locals in Quang Binh, injured 11 others and left 22 missing from September 30-October 5.
The flood inundated almost 103,640 homes, causing damages of over 1.27 trillion VND (roughly 87.72 million USD).
In a working session with local authorities, the Deputy Prime Minister asked for greater efforts in the search and rescue work.
“The province should take initiative in allocating local budgets and Government aid to bring supplies to the flood-hit areas to help victims recover,” said Hai.
Up to October 7, a fundraising campaign on a national scale has collected over 20.8 billion VND, of which over 15.4 billion VND has been sent straight to flood-stricken central region provinces.
The Ho Chi Minh City Fatherland Front was the biggest donor with 6.9 billion VND. The capital city of Hanoi donated 5 billion VND, Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group (PetroVietnam), 4 billion VND, and the northern province of Vinh Phuc, 2 billion VND./.
