PM inspects post-flood recovery in central region
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc on November 1 visited and presented gifts to a number of families badly affected by typhoon Molave in Quang Ngai and Quang Nam provinces.
Visiting Tam Quang commune, Nui Thanh district, the Government leader asked for drastic efforts to clean up the environment and repair public facilities like schools and hospitals to serve local people's need.
He conveyed Party and State leaders’ sympathy to local residents and expressed his hope that local authorities and people will soon overcome consequences of the natural disaster.
On the occasion, he presented gifts to 30 households in Tam Quang commune, whose houses collapsed due to the impact of Molave, and visited storm victims at Quang Nam General Hospital.
Earlier, PM Phuc and his entourage visited and presented gifts to several poor families in Tu Nghia district and Chau O town’s secondary school in Binh Son district of central Quang Ngai province. These families and the school suffered heavy losses caused by the storm.
Storm Molave swept through many localities in the central region, causing torrential downpours and strong winds on October 27. It destroyed dozens of houses and blew the roofs of tens of thousands of others.
After making landfall, Molave weakened into a tropical depression, delivering drenching rain and strong gusts to central localities.
Quang Nam and Quang Ngai provinces appeared to be among the hardest-hit localities.
