Faced with the emergency, Military Region 5 mobilized special forces and vehicles, using armored vehicles to cross the rapids, delivering thousands of essential supplies to people in deeply flooded areas. The working group, directly commanded by Colonel Cao Van Muoi, Deputy Chief of Staff of Military Region 5, deployed 3 armored vehicles to transport more than 3,000 gifts, including instant noodles, dry food, drinking water and other essential supplies.

Military Region 5 coordinated with the Dak Lak Province Civil Defense Command to promptly deliver food to areas that have been isolated for many days (of which Military Region 5 supported 3 tons of dry food).

Armed forces of Military Region 5 supply necessities to people in flooded areas.

Along the route to the flooded area, the water flowed rapidly, many sections of the road were eroded and landslides were dangerous, but with the determination of "not letting people go hungry, not letting anyone be left behind", officers and soldiers of Military Region 5 still persevered in opening the road, approaching each isolated village and residential area.

Receiving the relief gift, Mr. Nguyen Han (84 years old, Binh Kien ward) emotionally shared: “Having soldiers is the most precious thing. I have lived most of my life, never seen such a big flood, such deep flooding. All the houses were submerged, luckily the soldiers came to rescue and provide food, otherwise my whole family would not know how to manage. I feel so sorry for the soldiers.”

Officers and soldiers used special vehicles and armored vehicles to transport necessities to people.

Previously, the 88th Infantry Regiment (Dak Lak Provincial Military Command) also organized the reception of relief goods and mobilized forces by motorboats and canoes to deeply flooded areas, helping hundreds of households escape isolation and food shortages.

Shipments of goods crossing the raging waters and soldiers clinging to the flood to help people in the past days have become a solid support for the people in the flooded areas of Dak Lak. In difficult times, the relationship between the army and the people is even stronger, shining the qualities of Uncle Ho's soldiers.
