The Vietnam Red Cross on Sunday offered 66,000 USD in aid to provinces affected by storm Doksuri: Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Quang Binh, Quang Tri and Thua Thien-Hue. The organization called on its chapters and the public nationwide to assist those in need. The campaign will last until the end of next month.

Doksuri, the strongest storm to strike Vietnam in many years, claimed nine lives and left four missing and 112 injured. The typhoon also destroyed more than 69 thousand houses.
