The information was provided by the Department of Dyke Management and Natural Disaster Prevention under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
According to the Russian Embassy in Vietnam, this shipment aims to help Vietnam recover from super typhoon Yagi and its aftermaths like landslides, flashfloods and waterlogging.
The Department of Dyke Management and Natural Disaster Prevention added that in recent days, Vietnam has received emergency humanitarian aid supplies from numerous organizations and countries to respond to the strong storm.
Earlier, Vietnam received an aid shipment from the Singaporean Government.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development received the aid shipment including filtration pumps, bottled water, personal hygiene kits, survival blankets, water containers and meal rations for flood-hit people as soon as a flight carrying the shipment landed at Noi Bai International Airport in the capital city of Hanoi.
It is expected that the aid shipment will be distributed to the typhoon-and- flood ravaged Northern provinces on September 20.
Up to now, through the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, more than 30 international organizations and governments have pledged aid, worth around US$14 million to assist Vietnam in recovery from the aftermath of typhoon Yagi and floods.
