Between 19 and 21 November, representatives from the Central Region Natural Disaster Mitigation Support Fund visited 600 flood-affected families in Quang Nam, Quang Ngai and Binh Dinh provinces.  They presented gifts to local families, valued at 300,000 VND each, which consisted of 10kg of rice, one carton of instant noodles, and 2 packs of monosodium glutamate.

The money for the gifts was raised from domestic and overseas organisations, businesses, and individuals.
