Accordingly, each commune will receive 70 1,000-liter water tanks, 70 hygiene kits, and 75 20-liter direct-drinking water bottles. Priority beneficiaries are poor and near-poor households that have no source of clean water for daily use, especially for eating and drinking. Also prioritized are female-headed households, households with children or disabled children, those who have not received similar support, and those lacking a source of clean water for daily living.

Mr. Tran Van Trong, Vice Chairman of the Na Son Commune People's Committee, said: The support of water tanks, drinking water, and hygiene tools is very timely, helping people have a safe source of water for daily use, especially when many water supply systems were severely damaged after the floods. This is not only material support but also a great source of spiritual encouragement, helping people have more confidence to overcome difficulties and stabilize their lives soon.
