Hop Thinh commune is one of the localities along the Cau river that suffered heavy damage due to the recent floods. The whole commune has 3/40 villages completely isolated; 6 villages partially isolated. Floods have affected more than 1,600 households with more than 6,000 people. Hundreds of people had to be urgently evacuated to temporary housing. Many sections of the dike in the commune have been eroded and seeped; hundreds of hectares of rice, crops, and aquatic products have been damaged...

Leaders of Hop Thinh Commune People's Committee presented gifts from sponsors to people.

Comrade Nguyen Van Thang, Chairman of Hop Thinh Commune People's Committee, said that the water has receded and people have returned home to clean up their houses. However, people in the flooded areas still face many difficulties. "The locality is very touched and appreciates the sentiments of the Government and People of Japan for people affected by natural disasters. Immediately after receiving the goods, the commune will deliver them to the affected people."

Hop Thinh commune leaders supported the transportation of gifts to the villagers.

It is known that, in order to support localities damaged by floods, the Japanese Government has decided to transfer relief goods through JICA, under the Japan Emergency Disaster Relief Program. Goods were exported from JICA warehouse and transported by air to Noi Bai International Airport, then handed over to the Department of Dyke Management and Natural Disaster Prevention ( Ministry of Agriculture and Environment ) for coordination to severely affected localities, including Bac Ninh province. This meaningful relief activity contributes to further strengthening the friendly cooperation and solidarity between Japan and Vietnam in responding to natural disasters and recovering from storms and floods.
