"This initial funding is intended to help localities have the resources to handle emergencies and support people in areas severely affected by flooding, landslides, and heavy damage. In addition, essential items such as food and drinking water are also being distributed to affected households," Mr. Hung said.

Regarding the 500 billion VND in government funding to support people in overcoming the damage, Mr. Hung said that the province has requested communes to urgently compile and assess the extent of damage to each household, and then allocate support promptly.

Besides providing material support, the province has mobilized forces to critical areas to help people clear mud, rebuild houses, unclog drainage ditches, and repair roads damaged by landslides.

After Typhoon Bualoi passed through, many areas in Nghe An were flooded and cut off, leaving thousands of people struggling to overcome difficulties.
