On the morning of November 21, under conditions of prolonged heavy rain, many areas in Tay Hoa, Dong Hoa, Tuy An Bac, Dong Xuan, Xuan Loc communes, Binh Kien ward were still submerged in floodwaters, completely cut off from the outside. In the face of the emergency, Military Region 5 mobilized special forces and vehicles, used armored vehicles to cross the rapids, and supplied thousands of essential goods to people in deeply flooded areas.

The working group, led 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 necessities. The goods were coordinated by Military Region 5 with the Dak Lak Provincial Civil Defense Command to promptly deliver to areas that have been isolated for many days (of which Military Region 5 supported 3 tons of dry food).

Along the route to the flooded area, the water flowed rapidly, many sections of the road were eroded and landslides were dangerous; however, 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) was moved and said in tears: “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!”
