Vietnam has appreciated the strong support and solidarity from international partners and diplomatic missions in helping local communities recover from the recent devastation caused by Typhoons Bualoi and Matmo, according to Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Environment Nguyen Hoang Hiep.
Australia is providing up to AUD3 million in humanitarian assistance to Vietnam following Typhoons Bualoi and Matmo, as these consecutive typhoons have led to widespread destruction and flooding across northern and central Vietnam.
VOV.VN - Authorities in northern Bac Ninh province have declared an emergency situation in response to 27 dyke-related incidents due to floods triggered by Typhoon Matmo.
The northern provinces of Thai Nguyen, Cao Bang, Lang Son, and Bac Ninh will receive an additional VND400 billion (US$15.18 million) in emergency relief from the 2025 central budget reserve to address the damage caused by torrential rains and flooding in the aftermath of Typhoon Matmo.
VOV.VN - Floodwaters in northern provinces of Vietnam have begun to recede after days of heavy rainfall brought on by the remnants of Typhoon Matmo, but the aftermath remains devastating, with significant losses in human lives, property, and infrastructure.
VOV.VN - Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on October 9 chaired a Government meeting in Hanoi to review recovery efforts following Typhoon Matmo, with Politburo member and permanent member of the Party Central Committee’s Secretariat Tran Cam Tu offering guidance.
As of 5pm on October 8, heavy rains triggered by the aftermath of Typhoon Matmo had inundated and damaged nearly 22,600 ha of rice and crops, killed or swept away hundreds of thousands of livestock and poultry, and flooded close to 17,000 houses.
The Central Relief Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Central Committee received nearly VND799 billion (US$30.31 million) in donations from individuals, organisations and enterprises to support residents in areas affected by Typhoon Matmo as of 5pm on October 8.
VOV.VN - Persistent heavy rainfall brought by Typhoon Matmo, combined with discharge from upstream hydropower dams, has caused river levels across Northern Vietnam to surge swiftly in recent days, triggering serious risks of widespread flooding and landslides, especially in low-lying and mountainous regions.
VOV.VN - Prolonged thunderstorms and torrential rain caused by Typhoon Matmo hit Noi Bai International Airport on the night of October 6 and the morning of October 7, thus reducing visibility to under 1 km, producing level‑7 wind gusts, and creating wind shear at take‑off and landing areas, disrupting flight operations.
