Help Flooding Victims in Central Vietnam
Last Updated: Nov. 2, 2020
For almost two weeks, alongside the COVID-19 pandemic, Hurricane Nangka and continuous heavy rains have plagued Central Vietnam. As of Monday, October 19, 2020, 90 people are dead and 34 people are missing and those numbers continue to raise daily. More than 100,000 homes and buildings have been destroyed or severely damaged by floods and landslides from the extreme weather. The heavy rains are expected to continue until Wednesday, but the post-flood effects are nearly insurmountable.
As of October 11, 2020, Hoa Tinh Thuong is directing 100% of all donations to Hoa Yêu Thương, a group of monks and nuns from Tu Hieu and Dieu Tram Temples in Hue. Hoa Yêu Thương has been providing food, supplies and other assistances directly to impacted flood victims in Hue , Quang Tri and Quang Nam provinces. We've captured some of our collective efforts in the video and photos below:
