Spain, through the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID), has contributed 450,000 euros to the emergency appeal of the International Federation of the Red Cross (IFRC) to help the victims of Typhoon Yagi in Vietnam and Myanmar.

According to the Agency yesterday, the heavy rains caused by the remains of the typhoon have affected millions of people in Southeast Asia. In Vietnam, the passage of Yagi through the north of the country has caused serious landslides, widespread flooding and infrastructure collapse.

Approximately three million people lack access to safe drinking water and sanitation, posing a risk of disease, and 550 health facilities and more than 800 schools have been damaged. According to data from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), large areas of crop land have been lost, as well as livestock and other livelihoods for the affected population.

In Myanmar, severe flooding has occurred across the country, particularly in central Myanmar. Major damage has been caused to road, transport, telecommunications and electricity networks in the affected areas, and more than three million people have become internally displaced. As a result of violence, conflict, political instability and disasters, more than 18 million people, or one third of the population, are in need of humanitarian assistance.

Faced with this situation, Spain, through AECID, has contributed 450,000 euros to the emergency appeal of the International Federation of the Red Cross to provide assistance to those affected: 300,000 euros for the emergency operation in Vietnam (aimed at serving approximately 130,000 people) and 150,000 euros for Myanmar, where the Federation, together with the National Society of the Red Cross, hopes to serve around 35,000 people.
