The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) has dispatched a team of six experts from the Swiss Humanitarian Aid Unit to Vietnam and earmark 1 million CHF (about 1.1 million USD) to support people affected by Typhoon Yagi.

UNICEF has provided water supplies to government partners for distribution to households, hospitals, health facilities and schools in three of the most impacted provinces by typhoon Yagi in Vietnam, said UNICEF Vietnam Representative Silvia Danailov.

The project will be implemented from the Summer-Autumn crop in 2024, with funding of 16 million AUD (10.5 million USD) from the Australian Embassy in Vietnam.
