The launching ceremony was attended by staff members of the
Vietnamese Embassy, leaders of the association as well as representatives of
Vietnamese businesses, donors and overseas Vietnamese in Cambodia.
Chau Van Chi, Chairman of the General Association of Vietnamese Cambodians,
called on the participants to donate money to aid affected people, helping them
to overcome flood consequences and stabilise their lives.
In response to the call, about 4,500 USD was raised at the
ceremony to support flood-affected localities. The association will continue
receiving donations in the time to come.
On October 20, the Vietnamese Embassy in Cambodia also called for
donations to support flood victims, with its staff and members of
representative agencies donated at least one-day salary.
Continuous downpours from October 10 triggered floods and
landslides in Vietnam’s northern and north central regions, causing huge losses
in humans and property.
Up to 75 people were killed, 38 injured and 28 others went
missing. More than 2,600 households were forced to evacuate.
