Vietnam Castastrophic Floods
Donation protected
My name is Nguyên Ngoc Sanh, vice chairman of the Vietnamese Irish Association setup in 1981.
Last week on the 19th Octobter, severe floods and landslides in Vietnam are reported to have left at least 102 people dead or missing, while tens of thousands of people have lost their homes to rising water.
Two storms that hit central Vietnam in the first two weeks of October, Storm Linfa and Storm Nangka, brought six times higher than average rainfall, flooding 136,000 houses and forcing 90,000 people to evacuate their homes. A third cyclone is expected to hit the coast in the coming days.
Worst hit is Hue province, some 700km (434 miles) away from the capital, Hanoi. Police and soldiers have been using canoes and boats in Ha Tinh city to reach the most flooded areas to evacuate people and move property to safety. In this city alone, more than 20,700 people were reported to have been evacuated.
I understand this is a tough time for people with the corona virus amongst us but we appreciate greatly if you can contribute as little as a euro can make a difference in helping the people of Vietnam rebuild their lives and homes again.
