Responding to Vietnam's call for assistance, embassies and international organisations have quickly mobilised to support disaster-stricken areas following Typhoon Yagi. Among the first to act was the AHA Centre, taking prompt action to address the severe aftermath of the storm.
On September 13-14, three shipments of humanitarian aid arrived at Noi Bai Airport as part of the AHA Centre's response plan to help Vietnam recover from Typhoon Yagi.
Previously, these relief supplies had been consolidated at the AHA Centre’s Subang warehouse in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The relief shipments included 2,000 family kits, 1,000 shelter repair kits, 1,000 kitchen sets, and 3,000 personal hygiene kits, with a total value of approximately 250,000 USD.

The humanitarian aid supplies were transported to the affected areas by the Department of Dyke Management and Natural Disaster Prevention and Control. |
Immediately after landing, the shipment was received by the Department of Dyke Management and Natural Disaster Prevention and Control (under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development), after which it was transported to affected areas such as Yen Bai Province and Lao Cai City, where local authorities distributed the supplies to the residents.
In the near future, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development will continue to receive and distribute aid supplies from various countries to those affected by natural disasters.
Earlier, from September 11 to 15, in addition to the three shipments from the AHA Centre, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development received one aid shipment from the Government of Australia and one from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), which were delivered to Yen Bai Province and Lao Cai Province.
To date, the Ministry has mobilised and received support from 10 embassies and 16 international organisations, with commitments to provide 160 tons of goods via air transport through the Ministry.
