Urgent support needed for 34 communes and wards damaged by natural disasters

To provide emergency support to 34 communes and wards in the eastern region of the province (formerly Phu Yen province) that are suffering heavy damage due to natural disasters, the government and functional units have made a specific list of necessities that need urgent support.

Specifically: Regarding food and foodstuffs: Items that need support include: Rice, instant noodles, dry food, cakes of all kinds, sausages, milk and spices such as fish sauce, cooking oil, salt. In particular, clean water sources are very scarce, so bottled drinking water is the top priority.

List of items needing urgent support for people in flood-affected areas.

Regarding medical supplies and environmental sanitation: To prevent epidemics that often arise after floods, the list calls for support for cough medicines, cold medicines and disinfectants. In addition, hygiene products such as soap and dishwashing liquid are also essential for people to clean their homes and belongings.

Regarding living and reconstruction supplies: Due to many houses being flooded and damaged, people are in dire need of warm clothes, blankets, mats, mattresses and items such as flashlights, backup generators, water buckets, gas stoves to overcome the local power outage and water shortage.

In particular, to help people quickly restore production and repair houses after the flood recedes, the support list also includes rice seeds and roofing sheets.

Previously, the Provincial People's Committee directed the Department of Industry and Trade to contact suppliers and distributors to receive necessities to help people.
