Helicopters to provide food to 3,000 people in cut-off areas in Central Vietnam

Air transport is considered the quickest and most effective way to deliver supplies to thousands of people in distress in the two communes cut off by floodwaters and landslides, reported VOV.

Air transport is considered the quickest and most effective way to deliver supplies to thousands of people in distress in the two communes cut off by floodwaters and landslides.

The decision was made during a meeting of the Quang Nam provincial Military Command on October 31 to discuss methods in which to supply food to needy people in isolated areas.

Air transport represents both the quickest and most effective way in which to deliver daily necessities to the needy, according to Colonel Nguyen Viet Hung of Air Force Division 372. He said supplies are ready for pickup at Da Nang airport, and helicopters are set to take off as soon as the weather conditions allow.

According to Colonel Hung, it will take more than an hour in which to conduct a journey, and there is no limit on the number of flights which can be taken between 07:00 a.m. and 17:00 p.m. daily. To get necessary items to those in need, each flight will carry over one tonne of supplies for local people.

VOV also quoted that authorities are considering land transport as another means of delivering supplies to residents in distress. This will see goods transported to areas which border the isolated communes, from there, rescue forces will use pulleys in order to bring goods to the top of the hill where militiamen from the two communes will then receive the items and transport them back to the villages.
