The relay team mainly reached an easy place, not a difficult place yet

Many delegations and organizations came to the aid but mainly they reached easy places, not difficult places, so in some places people received a lot of support, in some places people could not receive it.
“We must find a way for relief items to reach all those in need. I asked the provinces to assign tasks to the communes, because they only know the details and details of the people in each village. Relief items must be collected by local authorities and the Frente de la Patria. Other mass organizations together with the people supervise the distribution. Otherwise, many aid groups come to the aid in a very formal way, they film and take photos and people who are really in difficulty and need help will not have any support, ”said Dung.
Regarding the response to Storm No. 8, Vice Premier Trinh Dinh Dung requested the Central Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention to request the provinces in the storm impact forecast area to prepare ready response plans. . . If Typhoon No. 8 does not diminish in intensity by entering the mainland unprepared, the consequences will be dire, as some central provinces have been flooded for many days.
