Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has decided to grant an additional VND180 billion plus 200 tonnes of rice in relief aid to flood-hit provinces in the northern mountainous region.

Under the PM’s decision on October 28, Lao Cai will receive VND 60 billion, Yen Bai (VND 40 billion), and Ha Giang, Phu Tho and Lai Chau provinces (VND 20 billion each), and Son La and Thai Nguyen provinces (10 billion VND each).


The money will be used to help the provinces restore production and repair infrastructure such as schools, infirmaries, irrigation works, roads and environmental hygiene.


Ha Giang and Yen Bai will also receive 200 tonnes of rice from national reserves (100 tonnes each).


August flash floods in the northern mountainous provinces, caused by hurricane Kammuri, left more than 170 people dead or missing and damaged more than 10,000 homes.
