Many Vietnamese stars join hands to support people in flood-hit areas

In recent days, storm No. 3 (Yagi) has caused damage and casualties in the northern provinces and cities due to landslides and flash floods. To share the burden with everyone, many showbiz names have contributed hundreds of millions of dong.

Tung Duong and his close friends donated 500 million VND to the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Thai Nguyen province. The singer also postponed the release of his new MV - "Men Don't Need to Cry", choosing another release date.

In the coming days, he will continue to call on friends to support places that are experiencing major floods such as Bac Giang, Yen Bai, Lang Son, Cao Bang... "We will send as much as we can, hoping to inspire people to live, hoping they will overcome the current difficulties," he said.

Singer Ho Ngoc Ha donated 100 million VND, in addition, she donated revenue from the upcoming song "Cay Den Than", including money received from YouTube views, streaming on digital music platforms. After the MV is released, she will summarize in batches, giving to a number of individuals and units directly involved in relief. "I am contacting a number of organizations to contribute more, and at the same time asking fans to connect with special cases in need of help," said Ho Ngoc Ha.

Following the news of natural disasters closely over the past few days, model Thanh Hang said she was heartbroken by the images of people fleeing floods at night, huddled on rooftops waiting for relief. She sent 100 million VND in support to the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front. "I think I'm far away and can't do much, so I try to share a little bit of my heart and support people," the model said.

Singer Cam Ly and her accompanying unit contributed 100 million VND to the Hope Fund to help people in the highlands. Singer Ha Anh Tuan donated 1 billion VND to the Central Youth Union, joining in supporting the damaged provinces. "My colleagues and I in the company are calling on departments, branches, and organizations to join hands. Depending on the situation, there will be further support plans. Currently, everyone is fighting the flood, so we have not been able to reach many people yet," said Ha Anh Tuan.

Dozens of other names in showbiz joined in support, such as singer My Tam (200 million VND), singers Uyen Linh and Quoc Thien (150 million VND), Duc Phuc (100 million VND), Diep Lam Anh (100 million VND), Toc Tien (150 million VND).

According to actress Viet Huong, every year at this time she usually gives moon cakes and lanterns to children everywhere. This year, she stopped organizing the program and sent 200 million VND to support storm recovery.

In addition to contributing, actress Lan Ngoc shared local emergency hotlines and goods collection points on her personal page for everyone to know. "Every arm working together will help rescue victims faster," she said.

In addition to cash, many artists are looking to buy medical supplies, medicines, and necessities to send to provinces that are deeply flooded. In addition to supporting 300 million VND, director Ly Hai - Minh Ha and his wife are buying life jackets and flashlights with their friends and family to send to representatives and give to people in Lao Cai and Yen Bai on September 11.

Actor Dai Nghia said that when he heard the news that people in many places were suffering from floods, he recalled the time four years ago when the Central region suffered from natural disasters. At that time, he stayed up all night reading messages calling for help from units sent back. On September 9, Dai Nghia decided to sell some jewelry and souvenirs, and with some friends bought thousands of life jackets and vacuum-packed banh chung packages, sending them to Yen Bai, Bac Giang, Lang Son, and Thai Nguyen. He said he only accepted donations from friends and relatives, not from the audience.

Just flying from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi, singer Bang Kieu immediately joined the relief team to Yen Bai to bring necessary items such as life jackets and necessities to support soldiers as well as people in flooded areas. "We are in the city but the water is like a river, flowing rapidly. I feel sorry for this situation," the singer said.

Over the past three days, 25 provinces and cities in the North have experienced very heavy rain with average rainfall of 200-400 mm, with Lao Cai, Yen Bai and Thai Nguyen experiencing average rainfall of 400-600 mm. According to Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Hoang Hiep, heavy rain has led to localized flooding, with a high risk of flash floods, landslides and threats to the dike system.
