United States Announces Emergency Assistance for Vietnam Following Successive Typhoons
The United States recognizes the extraordinary challenges facing the Vietnamese people after widespread damage inflicted by Tropical Storm Fengshen and Typhoon Kalmaegi and is committed to supporting Vietnam-led relief efforts. In response to the devastation caused by the successive storms, the United States is providing life-saving assistance to families and communities most impacted to ensure their basic needs, such as shelter and clean water, are met.
Our relationship with Vietnam is built on a foundation of shared priorities including ensuring a free, open, and stable Indo-Pacific. The enduring bonds between our peoples, strengthened by a vibrant Vietnamese-American community, are at the heart of our relationship.
The United States is providing $500,000 to deliver immediate relief to families and individuals and bolster ongoing relief efforts led by the Government of Vietnam in the wake of these storms. This adds to $500,000 the United States provided in October to support Government of Vietnam relief efforts in the wake of earlier tropical storms.
Our life-saving assistance reflects the deep ties between our peoples and our commitment to the U.S.-Vietnam relationship, enabling us to alleviate suffering, respond effectively in times of crisis, and build a more resilient future together.
