Floods caused by torrential rains have claimed two lives in the province and damaged nearly 15,200 houses, thousands of hectares of crops and aquaculture as well as roads and other infrastructure facilities.
In Quang Ninh district, the Vice President handed over 100 million VND (over 4,310 USD) to the mountainous commune of Truong Son to help it overcome the consequences of flooding. She also presented 60 gifts of essential goods to local poor households.
In Le Thuy district, Thinh granted 100 million VND each to Lien Thuy and An Thuy communes, 30 million VND to the kindergarten of Lien Thuy commune and 50 gifts to local people.
Torrential rain is continuing in Quang Binh, posing high risk of flood returning.
