More than 1,000 workers cannot be contacted after the flood
Continuing to provide emergency support to workers in flood-prone areas, on the afternoon of November 24, Mr. Huynh Thanh Xuan - Vice President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor - visited, encouraged and presented support gifts to workers of An Hung Joint Stock Company.
Mr. Phan Dinh Hong - Chairman of the company's Trade Union - said that there are currently more than 1,000/2,136 employees of the company who have not been contacted. The reason was that the workers' living area was flooded, many people had their phones swept away.
Meanwhile, other workers are making efforts to clean up the factory after the water receded.
In the area where the factory is still littered with mud, Vice Chairman Huynh Thanh Xuan presented 30 gifts to support workers who suffered heavy damage, each worth 2 million VND. The Golden Heart Social Charity Fund also presented warm coats to workers.
Surprisingly, 3 families of workers lost their homes
After nearly 1km of muddy, stagnant water, and garbage roads after major floods, the working group arrived at Phuoc Khanh village, Tuy Hoa ward, where 3 workers lost their homes.
Ms. Le Thi Dieu and her husband sat and picked up a few items at the place that used to be the shelter of 5 people in the family. Nearby, the house of Mr. Le Van Dien - Ms. Dieu's younger brother - living with his mother and two children also has only one wall left.
On the evening of November 19, seeing the big water, the whole family of 4 adults and 5 children ran to the high-rise house to avoid the flood. When I returned on the morning of November 21, all 3 houses were flattened by the flood, and I no longer had a set of clothes taken away" - Ms. Dieu said.
Vice President Huynh Thanh Xuan presented 2 gifts, each worth 2 million VND, along with 5 gifts including blankets and sweaters for children to support immediate help. He requested the grassroots Trade Union and the Dak Lak Provincial Federation of Labor to promptly guide the dossier and consider supporting the construction of a "Union Shelter" for these families.
Female union member dies after crossing floodwaters to give birth
The most painful case was the family of Ms. Le Thi Loan - an accountant at An Hung Company, residing in Phu An village, Tuy Hoa ward.
When the floodwaters rose on the evening of November 19, Mr. Tran Van Thien - Ms. Loan's husband - took his wife, who was 9 months pregnant, to a higher neighbor's house for temporary shelter. Worried about his wife preparing to give birth, he decided to return to the authorities to pray for help. On the way, the water was up to his belly, he was swept away by the water and had cramps but still tried to swim to escape.
At that time, Ms. Loan and her son were taken to Phu Yen Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital with the support of the Traffic Police, but the hospital was deeply flooded and had no power.
After 2 days in the hospital, she was transferred to Phu Yen General Hospital. When giving birth, due to poor health, Ms. Loan did not survive the surgery. Ms. Loan passed away, leaving behind 3 young children and her house was deeply flooded and in disarray after the flood.
