On the evening of September 11, the first international aid shipment arrived at the Noi Bai International Airport (Ha Noi) to assist victims affected by Tropical typhoo Yagi.

The first shipment, provided by the Australian government, included emergency relief supplies such as 264 hygiene kits, 120 kitchen kits, 600 blankets, 264 house repair kits, 600 sleeping mats, 522 tarpaulins, and 360 mosquito nets.

Australia’s initial support, valued at 3 million AUD, encompasses humanitarian aid, essential materials, and services to address the damage caused by Typhoon Yagi. The aid is aimed at the most affected communities and vulnerable populations.

"We will ensure that women, children, and people with disabilities have access to this aid. Australia stands ready to support Viet Nam in recovering and rebuilding the affected areas," emphasized Mr. Andrew Goledzinowski, Australian Ambassador to Viet Nam.

Along with Australia's shipment, the ASEAN Coordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance on Disaster Management (AHA Centre) is expected to send aid around September 13-14. These supplies will also include essential items such as 2,002 family kits containing plastic buckets, water bags, towels, t-shirts, mosquito nets, candles, and FM radios; 1,008 house repair kits with ropes, hand saws, nails, shovels, hoes, shears, corner nails, straps, and hammers; and 1,015 kitchen kits.

Additionally, AHA Centre will provide 3,031 hygiene kits, including detergent, sanitary pads, towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, and shampoo.

Japan's JICA organization will supply 40 manual water filtration systems, each capable of filtering 4 liters per minute and with a maximum capacity of 100,000 liters, as well as 200 multi-purpose plastic tarps (50x4 m). The aid is expected to arrive in Hanoi on September 16-17.
