In the dispatch, the Dak Lak Provincial Party Committee informed that after suffering heavy damage from storm No. 13, from November 15 to November 21, the province continued to suffer from exceptionally heavy rain and floods.

Dak Lak province has been mobilizing all resources to urgently provide relief and overcome the consequences of natural disasters. Central ministries, branches, neighboring provinces and cities, organizations and individuals inside and outside the province are also actively supporting the province. In addition, the Politburo assigned Hai Phong city to directly support Dak Lak province with food, clothing, medicine and medical staff.

A representative of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Ho Chi Minh City said that in recent days, the government, organizations and people of Ho Chi Minh City have proactively called for donations and support for the South Central provinces, including Dak Lak province, to overcome the consequences of natural disasters.
