The goods were sent by the Jakarta-based ASEAN Coordinating Center for Humanitarian Assistance on Disaster Management, the primary regional coordinating agency on disaster management and emergency response. 

Then, the aid will be handed over to local people in Khanh Hoa, Phu Yen, Quang Ngai, and Binh Dinh provinces, to help them soon recover from the severe damage caused by recent storm Damrey.

This was the second time in 2017 ASEAN member states offered valuable aid to the Vietnamese people affected by natural disasters. The first time was to support victims of flash floods and landslides in Northern mountainous area in August.
