Of the total, the AO victims sponsor fund spent nearly 49 billion VND on supporting 188,669 victims with a wide range of activities.
Part of the money was used to provide free health care check-ups and medicine for victims in remote areas and health insurance books for poor victims.
Besides, the fund provided orthopedic surgeries and rehabilitation treatment for 1,971 patients. A total of 2,743 wheelchairs and supporting devices were also handed to the victims.
Meanwhile, over 23 billion VND was used to assist 34,234 victims in developing their business.

Those suffering from AO effects in high areas were provided with savings books and blankets, mosquito-nets, clothes and household utensils.
