The Vietnam Red Cross (VNRC) on October 5 granted 820 million VND in cash and goods as relief aid to flood victims in the central provinces of Quang Binh, Ha Tinh and Nghe An.

VNRC said it would work with International Red Cross and Red Crescent Society, as well as several counterparts, to collect more support for the victims.

Recently, rain-triggered floods have seriously damaged provinces in the northern-central region, leaving 13 people dead, three others missing and inundating thousands of houses as well as large areas of rice and crops./.
