In recent days, hundreds of charity vehicles have flooded into Hoa Thinh commune in Dak Lak province, causing traffic congestion, while surrounding areas like Hoa My, Hoa Xuan, Tay Hoa, Tuy An Nam, Tuy Nam Bac, Tuy Nam Dong communes and Phu Yen ward receive very little aid.

Residents have noted uneven distribution, unclear coordination, and chaotic handouts due to lack of local information. Many areas receive excessive dry food and clothing, while essential items such as rice, fresh food, salt, and basic household goods are scarce.
According to resident Nguyen Van Tuan from Hoa Thinh commune, locals also urgently need livestock and crop seedlings to restart production.
Despite the strong spirit of solidarity shown through nationwide relief efforts, shortcomings remain. Aid distribution needs better coordination, structured planning, integration into disaster-response exercises, and closer cooperation between donors and local authorities to ensure assistance matches people's actual needs.
In Phu My neighborhood of Song Cau ward, Dak Lak province, hundreds of aquaculture cages were destroyed. Local resident Bui Van Thai lost nearly all his 48 lobster cages, worth significant value, and many households in the area suffered similar or greater losses, facing debt and financial collapse. Communities urgently need support, loans, and assistance to rehabilitate aquaculture zones.

Farming cages of residents in Phu My neighborhood, Song Cau ward, Dak Lak province are left devastated after the disaster. |
Across eastern part of Dak Lak province, rural areas were heavily hit. Fields remain buried under mud and debris; livestock and poultry carcasses cover large stretches; rice and agricultural supplies were destroyed. Residents like Nguyen Ngoc Hai in Phu Hue village, Hoa Thinh commune lost all animals and food reserves and are calling for livelihood solutions rather than depending solely on relief aid.
Local leaders, including Chairman of Song Cau Ward People’s Committee Vo Ngoc Thach and Vice Chairman of Tay Hoa Commune People’s Committee Le Van Vi confirmed that losses are massive and beyond local capacity.
Local authorities are assessing damage and requesting higher-level support for materials, chemicals, seedlings, environmental sanitation, and rapid restoration of farming and livestock activities.
