Prime Minister launches fundraising campaign to support people in Central Vietnam

Sharing the difficulties and losses of people and localities affected by floods, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc launched a fundraising campaign to help people overcome difficulties, stabilize their lives, and restore production.

Minister of Information and Communications Truong Minh Tuan donated to support people in the Central region affected by floods.

Due to the influence of low pressure, combined with cold air, from October 13 to 16, 2016, in the provinces from Nghe An to Thua Thien Hue, there was widespread heavy rain, especially in the provinces of Quang Binh and Ha Tinh (total rainfall in some places was over 1000 mm); floods on some rivers and streams rose very quickly, in some places approaching the highest flood level in history.

Floods have killed or left missing 29 people, damaged over 121,000 houses, and damaged many infrastructure works such as clinics, hospitals, schools, transportation, and irrigation works; the lives of many households in flooded areas, especially in the two provinces of Quang Binh and Ha Tinh, are extremely difficult.

To share the difficulties and losses of the people and localities, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc requested ministries, ministerial-level agencies, and government agencies to promote the spirit of mutual love and support among cadres, civil servants, and employees of the units to donate to support localities and people in the affected areas to soon overcome difficulties, stabilize their lives, and restore production.
