Local authorities have arranged teams to guard the property of those who are staying at hospital and received the donations. All information about the donors and their donations has been recorded.

"It was very painful to know that many of them are children. I came here to send some prayers for them."
Pop singer Giang Son burst into tears when arriving at the site on Wednesday afternoon. "We can see that everything has been burnt down," she said in tears. "We can imagine how people here had to endure and suffer."
Do Thi Binh, head of the Women's Association of Khuong Dinh Ward said that they've received necessities including rice, instant noodles, cooking oil, milk, eggs as well as clothes and books, and cash. "We want to send our sincere thanks to the kind donors," she said. "We've collected everything and will transfer to them soon.
The official, however, hoped that donors would provide financial donations instead of goods as it was difficult to distribute the goods and some of the items included food which was difficult to preserve.
