Working together to provide relief to the people in the flood-affected areas.

Due to the impact of typhoon No. 3, the province experienced very heavy rainfall, causing river levels to rise and resulting in significant damage to both people and property. To date, the water has completely receded in some areas; however, some areas remain flooded, with some places isolated for several days.

Leaders of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Quang Nam province handed over the financial support to Phu Tho province to help overcome the damage caused by typhoon No. 3.

In response to this situation, Party committees, authorities at all levels, along with functional forces and benevolent individuals from all over the country, joined hands to ensure relief efforts reached the people in the flooded areas.

According to preliminary statistics from the Provincial Steering Committee for Disaster Prevention and Search and Rescue, as of September 12th, the floods have resulted in 1 death, 7 injuries, and 8 missing persons. 417 houses were damaged, including 6 completely destroyed. Over 7,000 households had to be urgently evacuated due to flooding and landslides. Over 4,700 hectares of rice paddies and nearly 1,700 hectares of other crops were flooded and damaged. Many infrastructure facilities including irrigation, dikes, transportation, electricity, schools, healthcare , and people's homes and property in the province were damaged. Many roads were flooded and landslides damaged the transportation system and irrigation canals.

Youth Union members, in coordination with functional forces, used small boats to deliver relief supplies to residents in Zone 10, Ha Hoa town.

In this situation, millions of people across the country have turned their hearts towards the ancestral land of Phu Tho with practical and meaningful actions. To date, the Phu Tho Provincial Relief Campaign Committee has received over 40 billion VND in donations through the Provincial Relief Fund from localities, units, organizations, and individuals.

The Provincial Relief Fund Campaign Committee will use the donated funds appropriately and effectively; allocate them promptly, reasonably, openly, and transparently in accordance with the law, ensuring that people in areas affected by natural disasters are provided with safe shelters and support to overcome initial difficulties and gradually stabilize their lives after the floods.

Residents of Ha Hoa district receive relief supplies from the Vietnam Red Cross.

Working together to carry out relief efforts, the Provincial Red Cross Society organized visits and provided support to families affected by floods, while also connecting with, mobilizing, and assisting over 120 charitable groups and organizations to provide direct assistance in terms of manpower and resources in Ha Hoa, Thanh Ba, Cam Khe, and Phu Ninh districts, with a total value of nearly 3 billion VND.

Ha Hoa district is one of the localities in the province that has been severely affected by the unprecedented floods. Although the water level of the Thao River has receded, the communes of Hien Luong, Dan Thuong, Tu Hiep, and some residential areas of Ha Hoa town are still deeply flooded.

To ensure the well-being of the people, Ha Hoa district has established 20 additional relief points with approximately 500 vehicles participating in transportation. The district is also making efforts to utilize various other means of transport to distribute relief supplies to the people.

Generous donors and volunteers loaded relief supplies onto small boats to deliver them to flood victims in Hien Luong commune.

In Hien Luong commune, over 600 households remain isolated. These households have been deeply flooded for the past few days, and the possibility of receiving relief supplies may be extended for another 9-10 days, depending on the receding water levels. The commune has used canoes and small boats to shorten the time to reach and distribute relief supplies to the people, ensuring that 100% of isolated households receive sufficient food, water, medicine, and other essential necessities to sustain their lives.

Comrade Le Dang Hung – Chairman of the People's Committee of Hien Luong commune, said: In recent days, the local Party committee and government have focused all their efforts on flood and storm prevention and control, and caring for the lives of people in flooded and isolated areas. The support and assistance from units, organizations, and individuals have helped the people of Hien Luong overcome initial difficulties and gradually stabilize their lives after the floods.

By September 12th, the Ha Hoa District Relief Committee had received over 240 million VND in cash; over 62 tons of rice, over 5,000 boxes of instant noodles, over 4,000 boxes of bottled water, 4,000 boxes of milk; 360 life jackets, 1,000 sets of medicine... along with many other necessities and relief supplies to help people overcome the consequences of flooding.
