The gift was donated by Vietnam’s Military Region 5, Military Region 7 and budget carrier Vietjet Air through a program launched by the Khmer-Vietnamese Association in Kampong Chhnang province in collaboration with Kampong Trolach district’s authorities to help locals combat COVID-19 and Chikungunya fever.

Representatives of the Vietnamese Embassy in Cambodia handed over the assistance to local authorities and households, including more than 10,000 face masks, 400 bottles of hand sanitiser, and 400 mosquito nets.

There are 340 Vietnamese-Cambodian families moving from the Tonle Sap to live in the two communes since October 2018.

Last year, the localities were affected by dengue fever and Chikungunya fever, with nearly 200 cases./.
