The VFF Central Committee noted four supervisory teams were sent to the impacted central provinces of Ha Tinh, Quang Binh, Quang Tri and Thua Thien-Hue to monitor the settlement of the incident’s consequences from June 23 – 29. 

The teams reported that 40,043 families there were given more than 4,309 tonnes of rice, while 8,111 ship owners whose marine activities were suspended received 53 billion VND (2.38 million USD) in aid. Over 9.8 billion VND (439,400 USD) was also provided to help affected fish breeding farms. 

Aside from the Government’s assistance, some provinces also offered their own support.

People nationwide and abroad also supported Vietnam with over 45 billion VND (over 2 million USD) and 149 tonnes of rice through the VFF and its member organisations. All the rice aid and some 42 billion VND have already been delivered to the targeted residents.
