Humanitarian Needs
From late July to September 2025, several tropical storms hit northern and north-central Vietnam. Torrential rains caused widespread floods and landslides across the region, affecting 800,000 people.
The storms caused extensive damage to infrastructure, housing and livelihoods, leaving many families in need of basic necessities like food, education, healthcare, and hygiene products.
