Hanoi (VNA) – A Vietnam Airlines flight
brought home nearly 350
Vietnamese citizens from over 30 countries in the
Europe, Africa and South America on December 15-16 thanks to concerted efforts
from Vietnamese missions and local authorities.
On board the flight were children under 18, the elderly,
people with illnesses, students who finished their study but without
accommodation, guest workers whose visas and labour contracts had expired and
those in extremely difficult circumstances.
The Vietnamese missions in the concerned countries
coordinated with local authorities to facilitate the citizens’ travel to an
airport in Paris for the rescue flight. The Embassy of Vietnam in France sent
school children in areas affected by severe floods in Quang Binh, Quang Tri and
Thua Thien – Hue provinces.
The aid will address the damage caused by floods, lack of clean and safe water
and hygiene, and the disruption of education for children.
The support, worth up to 800,000 euros of integrated interventions, is funded
by The European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO) within
the framework of its Vietnam Central Emergency Flooding Response project.
The joint action between Save the Children and World Vision is implemented from
November 2020 to February 2021 through an integrated package of interventions,
including education kits, household kits and WASH kits at home and school.
