The Chinese Red Cross has decided to grant 50,000 USD as relief aid to flood victims in central provinces of Vietnam.
The decision was announced on October 10 at a meeting between a representative of the Chinese Embassy and a representative of the Vietnamese Foreign Ministry, reported the ministry.
Earlier, the Chinese Embassy on October 8 had also donated 10,000 USD to the victims.
By October 11, the rain-triggered floods had left 66 people dead, 17 missing and 75 others injured, according to the National Steering Committee for Storm and Flood Control.
The floods caused an estimated damage worth over 2.5 trillion VND (roughly 127.5 million USD), of which nearly 1.4 trillion VND is from Quang Binh province, and polluted over 6,300 ha of residential areas, leaving 100,000 people facing shortages of fresh water.
Up to October 7, a large number of agencies, organisations and individuals across the country had registered and donated more than 20.8 billion VND to the flood victims./.
