Following Typhoon Yagi, the province has also decided to raise subsidies for poor households, near-poor households, children, the elderly people in difficult circumstances and the disabled to VND700,000 per month, 1.4 times higher than the national level.
Earlier, along with Haiphong City, Quang Ninh refused governmental financial support of VND100 billion and offered it to other localities also hit by Typhoon Yagi.
According to the two localities the typhoon severely affected the two areas, but many other localities were even more challenging. When assistance is required, the two localities will ask the government for consideration.
