In the face of the common pain of the whole country, a series of individuals, organizations, large and small businesses in the country - including Peak Markets quickly joined hands to support, contributing to alleviating the losses and helping people stabilize their lives soon.
The terrible consequences of super typhoon Yagi
As of now, super typhoon Yagi is considered the strongest typhoon in the past 30 years in the East Sea and the past 70 years on land, with many unprecedented characteristics. After the super typhoon, the northern mountainous provinces suffered serious damage due to flash floods and landslides.
On September 10, flash floods in Nu village, Phuc Khanh commune, Bao Yen district, Lao Cai flattened the entire village, burying 35 households with 128 people. In Cao Bang, landslides also caused many deaths and left many missing. Yen Bai province also recorded 40 deaths and missing due to landslides and floods. As of September 13, 2024, a total of 336 people were dead and missing across the affected provinces.
In addition to human losses, the super typhoon flooded and damaged hundreds of thousands of hectares of agricultural land , destroyed many houses and infrastructure, causing serious difficulties for people's lives.
According to government statistics, the total damage was initially estimated at more than VND50,000 billion, forecast to reduce GDP growth for the year by about 0.15% compared to the initial scenario. To quickly overcome the consequences, the government has issued drastic instructions to respond to and overcome the consequences of natural disasters.
Shining light on humanity in storms and floods
Super Typhoon Yagi caused serious damage to people and property, greatly affecting people's lives and work. In the face of natural devastation, the spirit of solidarity and mutual love of the Vietnamese people was clearly demonstrated through many practical and warm-hearted actions.
Not only words of encouragement on social networks, many individuals and organizations have quickly raised funds and transferred them to the account of the Central Relief Mobilization Committee - Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front. Images of cars blocking the wind for motorbikes on Nhat Tan Bridge or policemen helping lonely people are typical examples of humanity in difficult times.
When storm No. 3 passed, many individuals supported the fund and a group of people set out to bring food, life jackets and necessities to support flooded areas in Thai Nguyen and Yen Bai. On Facebook groups, many individuals also posted articles supporting free transportation of rescue supplies. These small actions demonstrated a strong spirit of solidarity, helping people overcome the storm.
Businesses announce support packages to overcome consequences of super typhoon
In addition to individuals and organizations, many businesses have also quickly joined hands to support people affected by natural disasters. Notably, billionaire Pham Nhat Vuong has raised a fund of VND250 billion, mobilized from many sources, including Vingroup's budget and voluntary contributions from all employees. This money will be used for emergency relief activities, rebuilding 2,000 collapsed houses and supporting families of those who died.
Not only Vingroup, Vinamilk has also provided 550,000 essential products such as fresh milk, nut milk and drinks to people. Chinese milk tea and ice cream brand MIXUE also contributed 2 billion VND to support the handling of the consequences after the storm.

Typically, Vietjet has deducted 5,000 VND from each air ticket sold to support people to overcome the consequences after the storm or the program of Peak Markets company "Collecting love from every transaction", demonstrating the spirit of "no one is left behind" to help people quickly stabilize their lives after natural disasters.
The acts of kindness during super typhoon Yagi are not only a symbol of the spirit of sharing, but also arouse solidarity and compassion. The tradition of "helping each other" and the solidarity of fellow countrymen have always been the lasting beauty of the Vietnamese people, helping people overcome difficulties and quickly stabilize their lives after storms and floods. These actions have contributed significantly to adding motivation and strength for people to overcome difficulties, storms and floods together and restore their lives after natural disasters.
