Before Typhoon Kalmaegi made landfall, waves of rain and floods had caused serious damage. There were 47 people killed, 8 missing, 130 were injured; more than 31,000 houses were flooded. There were 14,000 hectares of crops destroyed and about 152,000 livestock and poultry swept away. The government mobilized about 220,000 officers and soldiers and provided emergency support of VND 200 billion along with rescue supplies, medicine and food to local response areas.

“Thousands of children in Vietnam are still traumatized by the effects of recent storms and floods. Their homes, schools and dreams have been swept away. The subsequent devastation from Typhoon Kalmaegi has exacerbated the situation, putting already vulnerable communities at even greater risk. This is a wake-up call about the increasingly severe impacts of climate change on children in Vietnam. Our mission is to provide urgent support to help children and their families regain a sense of safety and hope,” said WVIV Director of Operations Vu Thi Nga.

According to WVIV’s initial assessment, at least 11 Regional Programmes with more than 34,000 children in their care are likely to be affected. The organisation is continuing to scale up relief efforts, mobilising international resources and working with relevant authorities to ensure timely, effective and targeted support.
