The Presidium of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Central Committee on September 10 launched a campaign in support of victims of Typhoon Yagi in Hanoi on September 10 with Party General Secretary and State President To Lam attending.

The typhoon, the strongest to hit Vietnam in decades, and the subsequent torrential rains, floods, landslides, and bridge collapse had left 146 people dead or missing as of 13:00 on September 10.

At the ceremony, the participants observed a minute of silence in memory of the deaths, including two military and police officers who sacrificed their lives while on duty.
