Typhoon YAGI Emergency Response
On 7 September, Typhoon YAGI, the most powerful storm to hit the South China Sea in 30 years, made landfall in northern Vietnam, causing widespread devastation across Southeast Asia. The typhoon has claimed over 500 lives, injured thousands, left hundreds of thousands displaced, and caused tremendous damage to infrastructure, homes, schools, and healthcare facilities. At least 6 million children have been affected and their access to clean water, education, health services, food, and shelter has been compromised.
World Vision aims to reach 60,000 people in affected districts of 4 target provinces of Yen Bai, Hai Phong, Hoa Binh, and Thanh Hoa in Vietnam and 25,000 affected people in Myanmar. Save lives now.
