The Gia Lai Provincial Red Cross Society launched an appeal on November 19, calling on organizations, businesses, and benefactors nationwide to support affected residents.
Since the appeal, more than 200 million VND (about USD 8,000) and around 5 tons of essential goods, including rice, instant noodles, food, and drinking water, have been received for immediate distribution.
Red Cross volunteer clubs have set up community kitchens providing 4,000-6,000 free meals per day. The organization has also requested support from neighboring provinces, including 20 motorboats and volunteer teams, to rescue stranded households. The SOS 115 Gia Lai team has joined authorities in rescue operations and medical transport.
Charitable groups across Gia Lai are also coordinating efforts. A driver group in Hội Phú Ward has been organizing relief trips since July and is now collecting goods and supplies to dispatch another shipment of approximately 15 tons. Residents are donating items directly at 126 Lý Nam Đế or sending bank transfers for purchasing essential goods.
At Pleiku Compassion Association’s relief point at 74B Phan Bội Châu, volunteers are receiving supplies around the clock. The association will depart on November 21 with emergency deliveries of food, water, milk, and snacks, and will continue accepting supplies for future missions.
Team 81 Gia Lai is also raising funds and goods for affected communities, preparing approximately 4,000 bánh chưng, bánh tét, and braised pork for areas without power or clean water.
More than 30 residents in Gào Commune are assisting with preparation, while the Gào Commune Women’s Union has contributed 2 million VND (about USD 80) toward ingredients.
