A ceremony was held on January 5 in Hanoi to hand over 100,000 USD from the Vietnamese Government and people to support bereaved families of tornadoes that occurred in Kentucky, the US, last December.
Vietnamese President Nguyen Xuan Phuc and Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on December 12 sent messages of condolences to US President Joe Biden over the losses of human lives and property as recent tornadoes hit the country’s central region, particularly Kentucky state.
Recent heavy rain, thunderstorms, tornadoes, and lighting in 10 northern provinces have caused an estimated economic loss of 83.5 billion VND (over 3.6 million USD).
