Front (VFF) issued a communiqué during the 17th Party Congress of
Hanoi on October 13 calling on the city’s people to support their compatriots in
the central region which has been hit hard by flooding in recent days.
Prolonged heavy rains triggered by Storm Linfa and tropical depressions have resulted in severe floods in some provinces and cities in the central and Central Highlands regions, killing 18 and injured many others while 14 people had gone missing as of 8pm of October 11.

Chairwoman of the VFF’s Hanoi chapter Nguyen Lan Huong urged officials, cadres, collectives, individuals, workers, armed forces, people from walks of life, businesses, and philanthropists to offer a helping hand to disaster-hit residents, contributing to restoring production and stabilising lives.
Donations can be sent to Hanoi’s relief fund run by the VFF’s Hanoi chapter or the headquarters of the chapter at 29 Ly Thuong Kiet Street, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi.
Politburo member and Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee Vuong Dinh Hue directed the provision of 7 billion VND (305,000 USD) from Hanoi’s relief fund to five hardest hit localities, including 2 billion VND each to Thua Thien-Hue and Quang Tri and 1 billion VND each to Quang Nam, Quang Binh, and Ha Tinh.
On the same day, permanent deputy chief of the Hanoi Coordination Office on New Rural Development, Nguyen Van Chi, said valuable agricultural products will be put up for auction at an event to popularise “One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) products and the proceeds will be used to help flood victims in the central region.
