Australia declares sending humanitarian aid to Vietnam after typhoons
(MENAFN) Australia has announced a humanitarian aid package worth up to AUD 3 million ($1.95 million) to assist Vietnam in the wake of severe damage caused by Typhoons Bualoi and Matmo, according to reports.
The relief effort will provide essential supplies, including kitchen kits, hygiene kits, and shelter tool kits, designed to help affected communities recover from the storms.
Foreign Minister Penny Wong highlighted the ongoing support, saying, “We know the path to recovery will take some time, and as longstanding friends and partners, Australia stands with Vietnam in its time of need.” She added, “Australia will continue to work with Vietnam on immediate relief efforts and building disaster resilience.”
The typhoons struck Vietnam in late September and early October, leaving a significant human and material toll. Reports indicate that more than 80 people were killed or remain missing, over 200 homes were completely destroyed, and an additional 169,000 houses suffered damage or lost their roofs.
Agricultural and aquaculture areas were also severely impacted, with thousands of hectares of farmland destroyed and more than 180,000 livestock and poultry lost. The aid package is intended to help communities access vital supplies while laying the groundwork for long-term recovery and resilience.
