In response to the needs of those affected, Vietnam Television will broadcast a live program titled "Vietnam's Support". Through deeply touching and authentic stories, the program sends the message that HUMANITY can help us overcome the most difficult times.

Authentic – Stories from the Middle of the Storms and Floods

"Vietnam's Support" will bring real-life stories and vivid, authentic images from the midst of the storms and floods, where people are grappling with the pain and devastation caused by nature.

The program will feature   local government representatives, residents from disaster-hit areas, and members of the rescue teams who have been tirelessly working to help the public. Live updates from flood-stricken hotspots like Lao Cai, Yen Bai, Tuyen Quang, and Quang Ninh will help viewers understand  the magnitude of destruction brought by Typhoon Yagi, which caused thousands of homes to be destroyed and left many people homeless.

 Emotional – The Pain and Selfless Sacrifice

Natural disasters often bring great pain and loss, which will also be reflected in "Vietnam's Support". The program will  show  scenes of entire villages swept away by floods, children who have lost loved ones, and families torn apart. These heartbreaking realities will be shared through reports and live interviews, both in person and online.

The show will also highlight the selfless efforts of the armed forces and the people in disaster-stricken areas. An outstanding example is Captain Nguyen Dinh Khiem, Commander of Company 3, Battalion 1, Brigade 513, Military Region 3, who heroically sacrificed his life during a rescue mission in the aftermath of Typhoon No. 3 (Typhoon Yagi) in Luc Hon Commune, Binh Lieu District, Quang Ninh Province.

 These sacrifices not only evoke deep sympathy and tears but also serve as a powerful source of inspiration, illustrating humanity’s resilience in times of hardship.

Admiration – The Dedication and Innovation of Rescue Forces

One of the highlights of "Vietnam's Support" is the recognition of the dedication and bravery of rescue workers, including the military, police, and volunteers. In the darkest moments, these individuals went into the most dangerous areas, even when the threat was  still  imminent, to help their fellow citizens. It was at these moments that the intelligence and determination of the Vietnamese people shone through, as innovative methods were developed to quickly locate survivors and deliver aid to those in need.

Ma Seo Chu (33 years old), the young chief of Kho Vang Village in Coc Lau Commune, Bac Ha District, Lao Cai, will recount his nerve-wracking decision to lead 115 villagers up the mountain to escape a landslide.
