The historic flood in November 2025, water flowing from upstream quickly swept away many properties and houses of people in Nam Khanh Vinh commune (Khanh Hoa). Among them is the house of Mr. A Nien (80 years old, T'rin people), located next to the Cai Khanh Vinh riverbank, near Khanh Nam suspension bridge.
After the water receded, the army and functional units helped his family clean up, and at the same time built a new house in a higher location to avoid floods.
Mr. A Nien could not hide his joy: "The Party and the State gave me a house to live in, very happy. These days it's sunny and rainy, carrying sand, cement, water from the stream up, the roads are very slippery, but the soldiers all built houses for me.
Not only in Khanh Hoa, but also in provinces such as: Dak Lak, Gia Lai, hundreds of households in flood-affected areas have also been successively handed over new houses. When soldiers were still there, people cherished them. When soldiers withdrew, people became more nostalgic.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Hong Nhi - a teacher at Hoa Thinh Kindergarten (Dak Lak) - where military units are temporarily stationed - emotionally shared about the days of attachment: "During the time officers and soldiers were at school, the feelings were very close and close to the students. Now saying goodbye to the soldiers is very affectionate.
As one of the units clinging to the area from the early days of rain and floods, Lieutenant Phan Ngoc Dan, Regiment 584, Dak Lak Provincial Military Command said that officers and soldiers are both performing rescue missions, and overcoming the consequences and rebuilding houses for people.
Today, during the farewell hour, people woke up at 5 am to cook to help us. After the meal, people cried a lot, not daring to see them off" - Lieutenant Dan shared.
Statistics show that from December 1, 2025 to January 10, 2026, more than 204,000 turns of officers and soldiers of Military Region 5, Dak Lak Provincial Military Command and self-defense militia forces with nearly 6,000 vehicles were mobilized and organized into 331 teams.

Gia Lai completes Quang Trung campaign
Implementing the "Quang Trung Campaign", Gia Lai province has completed the repair of 27,522 heavily damaged houses. Out of a total of 674 collapsed houses that need to be rebuilt, 651 houses have been completed so far; 23 houses were self-built by people, large-scale, multi-story structure, so they were completed ahead of schedule during the campaign.
On January 14, Mr. Cao Thanh Thuong - Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Gia Lai province - said that up to this point, the implementation of the "Quang Trung Campaign" in the province has basically been completed. For the remaining 23 houses, the province continues to support people to complete them before January 2026.
Although these 23 houses belong to the campaign, because people have a need to build them themselves with a scale of 2-3 floors, an area of 100-200m2, requiring high quality and aesthetics, they cannot be completed according to the general schedule. Up to now, it can be affirmed that the Quang Trung Campaign in Gia Lai has completed the set target" - Mr. Thuong said.

Nearly 28,000 heavily damaged houses have now been repaired, this is a very encouraging result. The remaining 23 houses have complex structures, the province must be determined to mobilize forces to complete them; if necessary, continue to request the army and police to support, ensuring people have a place to celebrate Spring and welcome Tet. Up to this point, it can be said that the Quang Trung Campaign has been successful" - Deputy Prime Minister Ho Quoc Dung directed. Luan - Vien
