The diplomat said the Party, Government, and people of China are closely monitoring the flooding in Vietnam, adding the Red Cross Society of China has decided to donate 100,000 USD in emergency aid to help Vietnamese victims recover from the typhoon aftermath.

Hoa said the VNRC Central Committee continues to promote cooperation between the two Red Cross Societies as well as their branches in border provinces, focusing on strengthening exchange and experience sharing, and supporting each other in the areas of health care, social affairs, disaster prevention and response, livelihood, and youth/volunteer exchange.

So far, the VNRC Central Committee has allocated emergency relief valued at nearly 10 billion VND (over 406,000 USD), and assisted over 10,300 households with more than 41,500 beneficiaries in 15 provinces and cities affected by the typhoon and its aftermath.

Since a community fundraising campaign was launched on September 7, the VNRC has received 16 billion VND.

The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement has launched an emergency call for joint efforts in support of Vietnamese people hit by the natural disaster with an estimated budget of 4 million CHF (over 4.7 million USD). Currently, a number of domestic and international organisations, businesses, and individuals are in discussions with the VNRC Central Committee to implement projects and non-refundable aid.
