Field kitchen serves more than 20,000 meals per day to people in flood-affected areas

Responding to the call of Ho Chi Minh City to support Khanh Hoa province in overcoming the consequences of natural disasters, the Social Charity Board of the Ho Chi Minh City Buddhist Sangha coordinated with the Ho Chi Minh City Youth Volunteer Force to organize field kitchens and provide supplies to people in flooded areas.

It is expected that each day, the kitchen will provide more than 20,000 meals, ensuring nutrition and food safety. The meals are distributed by the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Khanh Hoa province to people in areas severely affected by the recent floods.

As the tap water system in some areas has not been repaired, the Provincial Military Command and Khanh Hoa Provincial Police have mobilized 3 water trucks to serve the cooking. In addition to the kitchen located at Nha Trang University, the Social Charity Board of the Ho Chi Minh City Buddhist Sangha has also deployed 2 more field kitchens in Dien Dien commune and 1 kitchen in the old Phu Yen province. The kitchens will be maintained until people's lives stabilize again.

Below are images captured by Newspaper, Radio and Television reporters at a field kitchen located at Nha Trang University:
