The delegation, led by Vice President and General Secretary Tran Thanh Man, presented each affected household VND52 million (US$2,304) to restore their houses and prepare for the upcoming Lunar New Year holiday.

Man proposed local authorities continue mobilising resources to help local flood victims while monitoring the distribution of aid to ensure it reaches those in need.      

On the occasion, the VFF also transferred VND30 billion (US$1.32 million) to flood-hit central provinces, in which Phu Yen received VND3.5 billion (US$155,085).

Torrential rains and floods in the last two months of 2016 in Phu Yen province claimed 12 lives and caused damage worth over VND600 billion (US$26.5 million).
