The working delegation granted 100 gifts worth VND 2.2 million each for families seriously affected by the disasters, and three gifts worth VND 40 million each for three families whose houses completely collapsed.
Man asked local authorities to pay more attention to families which have no accommodations to help them repair and rebuild houses before the Lunar New Year festival.
More support is needed to help locals resume production and ensure no students are forced to leave school, he stated, stressing the importance to better environmental sanitation, especially measures to prevent diseases, including the COVID-19.
On this occasion, the VFF leader presented VND 5 billion to Quang Binh province to help in overcoming disaster consequences.
