The relief delegation was led by Truong My Hoa, former Vice State President and Chairwoman of the scholarship fund.
According to the Central Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control, since the beginning of August, heavy rains and flash floods in northern mountainous provinces have claimed at least 34 lives and left 11 others missing. Many people have lost their houses.
To promptly support flood victims, Vietnam Airlines has given free flights to carry donated goods to those in need.
During rains and floods in the central region in late 2016, the airline carried 30 tonnes of provisions and raised VND2.1 billion (US$92,412) for flood-affected people.
