VTV.vn - As one of the four central provinces affected by the Formosa environmental disaster, the central province of Thua Thien - Hue have begun distributing compensation to residents affected by recent mass fish deaths.

A budget of 400 billion VND (18 million USD) will be distributed among people in the districts of Phong Dien, Quang Dien, Phu Vang and Phu Loc and in Huong Tra town. The management of the funds will be closely monitored to ensure efficiency and transparency. In late June, Taiwan-invested Hung Nghiep Formosa Ha Tinh Steel Limited Company admitted responsibility for the mass fish deaths in the four provinces of Ha Tinh, Quang Binh, Quang Tri and Thua Thien - Hue, and pledged 500 million USD in compensation.
