Statistics reveal nearly 100 fatalities and numerous missing persons. The floods submerged and severely damaged tens of thousands of homes, destroyed hundreds of thousands of hectares of crops, and swept away millions of livestock and poultry. "These losses are immense, causing great sorrow and hardship for the people and localities in the disaster-stricken regions," Mr. Chien said.
The National Assembly recognized and commended the military, police, and other local forces for their tireless efforts in overcoming difficulties, hardships, and dangers to rescue people. The National Assembly Standing Committee also called on all members, officials, civil servants, public employees, and workers at National Assembly agencies and the National Assembly Office to donate at least one day's salary to join hands with the people in addressing the aftermath of the storms, floods, and natural disasters.
