Australia and Japan provide emergency aid to Vietnam in wake of typhoons

Australia is providing up to $3 million in humanitarian assistance to Vietnam.

The consecutive typhoons have led to widespread destruction and flooding across northern and central Vietnam. Tragically, at least 69 people have been reported dead.

Australia's support will include emergency relief supplies such as kitchen kits, hygiene kits, and shelter tool kits. Australia will also mobilise the Australian Humanitarian Partnership to enable Australian non-government organisations to deliver lifesaving assistance. This funding will also provide support through United Nations agencies.

Penny Wong, the Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs, said, "We know the path to recovery will take some time and as longstanding friends and partners, Australia stands with Vietnam in its time of need. Australia will continue to work with Vietnam on immediate relief efforts and building disaster resilience."

Anne Aly, the Australian Minister for International Development, said, "Our thoughts are with the families and communities affected by the recent destructive typhoons. Australia and Vietnam are partnering together to ensure families and the most vulnerable, including women, children, and people with disabilities, receive lifesaving assistance."

Meanwhile, the Japanese government has decided to provide emergency relief goods (blankets, jerry cans, and others) through the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).

The emergency assistance aims to support the people impacted by the typhoons in light of the humanitarian perspective and the close relations between Japan and Vietnam.
