Authorized Vietnam Volunteer Services (A.V.N.V.S) 215 on Friday provided food to flood stricken Cambodians by helicopter, according to a local authority.
During the flooding and high winds, Cambodians were airlifted by A.V.N.V.S helicopter from the Angdaung Meas district of Ratana-kiri province.
District Governor Norng Narith Angdaung Meas said that the floods occurred after the Sesan River burst its banks.
Floodwaters from Vietnam in the wake of Typhoon Ketsona have caused widespread damage throughout the province. As well as their helicopter, A.V.N.V.S came equipped with three boats, two cars, 13 doctors, about 6 tons of Chinese noodles, 2,110 bottles of pure water, 70 kilograms of dried fish, 100 sets of second hand clothes, and other nutrition support, according to A.V.N.V.S reports.
Narith said that “My district got more benefited from the A.V.N.V.S … helping 863 families whose 277 houses were destroyed.”
