Japan to deliver disaster emergency aid to Vietnam
The Japanese Government yesterday announced emergency aid worth
US$2.5 million for Vietnam to address drought and saltwater intrusion
consequences in the central and Mekong Delta regions since late 2014 due
to the effects of El Niño.
 |
The aid will be delivered through the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), according to the Japanese Embassy in Vietnam.
The aid will be spent on supporting hard-hit areas with clean water,
sanitation and food. Damages caused by the drought and saltwater
intrusion include reduced agricultural production, a lack of fresh water
and food, and malnourished women and children.
