International organisations have pledged almost 7 billion VND (345,000 USD) as emergency aid to flood victims in Vietnam’s central region.
The move was in response to the appeal by the People’s Aid Coordinating Committee under the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organisations (VUFO) on October 12 in Hanoi.
The donors include Plan International, the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, the US Agency of International Development, the International Care in Vietnam, and the Challenge to Challenge organisation.
Overseas Vietnamese in Finland and staff of the Vietnamese embassy in the country raised 2,150 EUR, equivalent to 58.8 million VND.
Other organisations also pledged more relief in the near future.
After the disaster, the VUFO and non-profitable organisations’ disaster management working group made a trip to Ha Tinh and Quang Binh provinces to assess the damage./.
