Việt Nam experienced unprecedentedly severe natural disasters in 2017, resulting in 386 people dead and missing and some VNĐ60,000 billion (US$2.6 billion) worth of damages.
Central Hà Tĩnh Province will receive 3,500 tonnes of rice from national reserve as relief following the recent storm, Doksuri, which swept through the province in September.
The flooding triggered by the Doksuri storm that swept through the central region of Việt Nam 10 days ago continued to isolate a community in a remote area of Quảng Bình Province.
The Doksuri storm swept through the central provinces of Hà Tĩnh and Quảng Bình in just a few hours on Friday morning, but the impacts will last a lot longer than local residents expected.
