Previously on May 18, 2018, in Na Sai and Hua Muong villages of Hanh Dich commune, heavy rain accompanied by a tornado caused sand to cover 13.5 hectares of rice fields that were close to harvest time, 19 hectares of crops were broken, 22 houses had their roofs blown off and 2 houses completely collapsed. Many households were left without rice to eat.
The Party Committee and government of Hanh Dich commune held an urgent meeting calling on all people in the commune to donate rice to support two villages that suffered heavy damage, with each household receiving an average of 2 kg of rice or more.
With the spirit of helping each other, right after the spring rice harvest, people in the commune contributed rice and paddy to support. After 5 days, more than 3 tons of rice were donated with a total value of up to 19 million VND. This amount of rice was distributed by the commune to families according to the damaged area.
