Hanoi (VNA) - After providing 50 billion VND (nearly 1.9 million USD) in aid for Gia Lai province, Hanoi has allocated an additional 200 billion VND to support the locality in overcoming the aftermath of the historic floods, helping residents quickly stabilise their lives and restore production activities.
Following the task assigned by the Politburo and the Secretariat regarding direct support for Gia Lai, the municipal Party Committee, People’s Council, People’s Committee, and the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Committee of Hanoi have promptly implemented relief measures.
On November 21, the Hanoi Party Committee directed relevant agencies to coordinate with Gia Lai to assess damages and identify the demands for essential goods, housing for poor and near-poor households, and critical infrastructure facilities. Based on statistics, the city has developed a comprehensive support plan with resources from the VFF Committee relief fund and the capital city budget. The Hanoi Party Committee’s standing board approved an urgent allocation of 50 billion VND to help Gia Lai residents immediately.
The municipal leaders have also approved an additional 200 billion VND to support Gia Lai in building resettlement areas and repairing flood-damaged roads. The municipal People’s Committee will coordinate with Gia Lai authorities to implement relevant projects, ensuring that aid reaches residents as quickly as possible.
In addition to supporting Gia Lai, Hanoi allocated 10 billion VND from its relief fund to the VFF Central Committee in response to the call to assist provinces affected by natural disasters.
On November 24, Permanent Deputy Secretary of the municipal Party Committee Nguyen Van Phong handed over 30 billion VND to support Dak Lak, Lam Dong, and Khanh Hoa provinces, which are also the worst-affected localities by floods. Each province received 10 billion VND./.
