Vietnam Typhoon Yagi
Typhoon Yagi was the worst natural disaster Vietnam has experienced in a generation. Since making landfall on Saturday September 7, Yagi has devastated over 100,000 homes in the country’s northern region with flash flooding and landslides. The reported death toll so far has reached 197, with many more missing or injured.
Samaritan’s Purse is amongst the first to respond in the rural province of Yen Bai, where flash flooding has risen above entire homes along the Red River. Working together with provincial partners, our teams have so far distributed 260 life jackets, 500 flashlights and 1,000 rescue whistles to assist first responders and survivors forced to evacuate their homes.
