At the checkpoints, the Deputy Prime Minister directly visited each severely affected household, inquiring about their living conditions, health, and support from the government and organizations.

The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that the Government always cares, shares and will have specific solutions to support households to quickly overcome the consequences caused by floods and stabilize their lives. In this difficult time, the Deputy Prime Minister hopes that people will continue to maintain the spirit of solidarity, trust in the leadership of the Party Committee and the government, and together overcome challenges.

“We cannot let people find their own places to live. The government must open maps, re-arrange and re-plan to evacuate people to safe places, absolutely not staying in dangerous areas,” said the Deputy Prime Minister.
