The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) on October 19 called on international friends to donate nearly US$1.8 million to help flood victims in the central region of Vietnam.

Red Cross staff and volunteers in Vietnamese provinces have made great efforts to rescue victims and deliver emergency aid to people in the hardest hit areas in Quang Binh and Ha Tinh provinces.

The Spanish Red Cross has joined with other international organisations, including OXFAM, CARE, and PACCOM in Ha Tinh to provide urgent aid in line with local people’s needs.

The Vietnam Red Cross also took part in another delegation in Quang Binh to discover what local people need immediately.
