Thai Red Cross Society sent a total of 60,000 USD direct financial assistance to three national societies including Lao Red Cross, Myanmar Red Cross Society, and Vietnam Red Cross Society. This humanitarian donation is aimed at assisting the people affected by the floods caused by Typhoon Yagi in early September. The typhoon caused large-scale damage to many lives and properties in Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam
In the picture, staff from Lao Red Cross Society are seen assisting Typhoon Yagi’s victims using flat-bottomed boats provided by Thai Red Cross Society. These boats were funded by donations from the Thai public during the 2018 disaster at the Xe-Pian Xe-Namnoy dam in Laos.
