Beneficiaries will be women, disabled children, and the elderly in flood-hit areas in central Quang Binh, Quang Tri, and Quang Nam provinces and north-central Ha Tinh province.

The relief includes toiletries, rescue equipment, and essentials.

KOICA is coordinating with other international organisations such as the UN Development Programme, UNICEF, the World Health Organisation (WHO), the US Agency for International Development (USAID), and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to support people in flood-hit areas and help them stabilise their lives.

KOICA has continually supported Vietnam in strengthening its capacity to respond to natural disasters via many different channels.

Fund-raising programmes have been launched nationwide to help flood victims.
