HÀ NỘI – In the aftermath of Typhoon Yagi, which struck northern Việt Nam on
September 7, the Government of Japan announced a US$2 million contribution to
the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) and the United Nations
Children’s Fund (UNICEF) to support Việt Nam’s critical relief and early
recovery efforts.

One million dollars will be spent on essential water, sanitation, hygiene and
child protection services provided through UNICEF Việt Nam serving 21,251
people and the remainder will go to IOM Việt Nam to provide emergency shelter
and non-food items to support more than 16,800 individuals in the hardest hit
provinces.

“Việt Nam has a popular idiom Lá lành đùm lá rách literally translated to 'the
good leaves protect tattered ones', showing solidarity and friendship). The
Government of Japan intends to ensure that this funding will support the
recovery amongst some of Việt Nam’s most vulnerable communities in hard-hit
rural areas,” said Japanese Ambassador to Việt Nam, Ito Naoki.

“This holistic approach of humanitarian assistance through trusted partners also
will hopefully set a strong course for recovery. It is now more important than
ever that we work quickly to achieve our collective vision of a strong,
prosperous and resilient Việt Nam.” 

This contribution will help address the urgent needs of children and families
affected by the most devastating typhoon to hit the country in 70 years.

With widespread destruction across the northern provinces, the typhoon killed
more than 300 people and destroyed or damaged more than 100,000 homes, schools
and healthcare facilities.

Over 237,000 families have been displaced, an estimated 570,000 people lack
access to safe water and sanitation and child protection risks have been
exacerbated.

This funding will also play a catalytic role in facilitating broader
multi-sectoral coordination, enhancing efforts across shelters, health,
education and nutrition services to meet the comprehensive needs of children and
families.

As part of the United Nations’ (UN) joint plan in cooperation with the
Government of Việt Nam, UNICEF and IOM, support will be focused on supporting
the most vulnerable children and families.

Despite all relief efforts, further support is essential to ensure safe spaces
and access to essential services for affected populations. The funds provided by
Japan will enable IOM and UNICEF to expand their reach and accelerate recovery
efforts.

The Government of Japan's contribution will also address gender-based
vulnerabilities by supporting the repair of sanitation facilities, improving
lighting in evacuation centres and promoting the safety of women and girls
through targeted interventions.

“This support from the Government of Japan comes at a pivotal moment when
children and families in areas affected by the typhoon are facing unimaginable
hardships,” said the UNICEF Representative to Việt Nam, Silvia Danailov.

“It will undoubtedly support communities in restoring access to WASH and
essential child protection services that have been impaired, damaged or
destroyed by the typhoon.” 

Welcoming Japan’s contribution, Officer in Charge of IOM Việt Nam Mitsue
Pembroke said: “The Government of Japan's contribution will fill critical
immediate and longer-term gaps in shelter and non-food items (NFI). Through the
Việt Nam Disaster Risk Reduction Partnership together with provincial and local
authorities and actors, IOM will ensure coordinated efforts to support the most
vulnerable individuals displaced from their homes, especially the economically
marginalised, women, girls and persons with disabilities.”

Japan and Việt Nam have a long-standing partnership.

To date, the Japanese government has provided emergency relief, including water
purifiers and plastic sheets for 2,000 families through the Japan International
Cooperation Agency (JICA), as well as other emergency supplies through the ASEAN
Humanitarian Assistance Center (AHA Center) and UNICEF.

Moreover, in terms of disaster prevention, Japan has experienced many natural
disasters and has a wealth of knowledge. 

With Japan's generous support, UNICEF and IOM are committed to helping families
in northern Việt Nam rebuild their lives after this catastrophic climate event.
Continued international support is vital as communities recover from the
destruction of this deadly typhoon and work to build resilience against future
natural disasters.

The Japanese government's assistance to date in response to Typhoon Yagi has
been disaster relief goods for 2,000 families, including water purifiers and
plastic sheets.

The country also provided disaster relief goods via the ASEAN Humanitarian
Assistance Centre (AHA Centre) with about 2,000 family kits, 1,000 shelter
repair kits, 1,000 kitchen sets and 3,000 personal hygiene kits, with a total
value of about $250,000, of which Japan provided approximately $230,000 through
the Japan-ASEAN Integration Fund (JAIF).

In addition, provision of disaster relief goods through UNICEF included 850
water tanks worth $70,000. — VNS
