Compassion in the flood

After days of being submerged in the “great flood”, villages and cities in many provinces in the Central region were submerged in layers of mud. In this scene, the spirit of solidarity of the Vietnamese people shone brightly again.

From the time the flood rose until it receded, groups of soldiers, police, militia, youth volunteers, local people and people from all over the country rushed to the flooded areas with vehicles to help the people in distress. Each package of instant noodles, each banh chung, each bread, each bottle of water that the forces and people brought back was hastily delivered in the raging flood.

As the flood receded, people joined hands to clean up, clear village roads, and push mud away from homes and schools. This sharing fueled the fire of solidarity, helping the Central region to steadfastly overcome hardships and continue life after the flood.
