In Germany, Vietnamese expats donated nearly 25,500 EUR (nearly 28,280 USD) within the day the donation campaign was launched (September 11), according to the Vietnamese Embassy in Germany.
Many associations across Germany are continuing to carry out fund-raising activities to support flood victims in the homeland.
Meanwhile, the total amount of money donated to flood victims at launching programmes for donations in Algeria and Hungary was nearly 40 million VND (about 1,630 USD).
Donation activities will continue in the coming days. The donations will be sent to the homeland as soon as possible to promptly deliver to people in flood-affected areas.
Practical spiritual and material assistance is expected to ease pain and loss of flood victims, helping them quickly restore production and stabilise their lives./.
