ASEAN aid for storm victims

A plane carried goods worth more than 174,000 USD, including utensils, personal hygiene items, house repair tools, an aluminium-clad ship and a 40 horse power engine to the affected region.

The deadliest storm to hit Vietnam this year left 91 dead and 23 missing in the central and south-central regions. It also destroyed thousands of houses and farm land.

The country has also received emergency aid from Russia, Japan, China, the United States, South Korea, and New Zealand.

It is the second time this year that ASEAN had supported disaster-hit regions in the country.
