Orphaned siblings call for help after parents died on the sea

Three siblings in Thanh Hoa Province are in need of help after their parents died while fishing at sea.

Truong Dinh Minh, the oldest brother is 20 years old and the youngest, Truong Dinh Cong, is only 8 years old. Minh graduated from high school and became a mechanic to support the family. However, Minh had a traffic accident in October which left his health too weak to do any hard work.

Minh's parents went fishing at sea on November 27. They used to start their trawling expeditions at 3 am and would return home after half a day but on that day they didn't return.

"I was worried and asked other people but no one could contact my parents. Our relatives and neighbours went out to look for them and found my mother's body," Minh said.

Their father's body was found four days later.

Truong Thi Huong, Minh's sister, dropped out of school after secondary school and makes fishing nets for just tens of thousands of VND each day.

"My parents just bought a VND30m (USD1,300) boat to go fishing. We don't even know whom they borrowed money from. Probably we look too sad right now so no one wants to collect their debts yet," she said.

Le Thanh Chung, the head of Lien Minh Village, said, "Their grandparents are old and weak. We really feel for them but everyone here is poor too."
