Leaders from the Son La provincial Youth Union and local authorities of Huoi Mot commune also joined the delegation.

Huoi Mot is among the hardest-hit areas in the province, following severe floods starting July 26. A total of 225 homes across 24 hamlets were affected. Cracks and landslide risks have been reported on hillside areas in Nam Pu, Cang Coi, and Cha Huoi hamlets, posing danger to 26 households.

About 121 hectares of rice, 187 hectares of short-term crops, and 31 hectares of perennial crops were hit. Additionally, landslides have damaged several roads, washed away or severely impaired five bridges, and caused subsidence at some local schools. Total estimated damage exceeds 180 billion VND (6.86 million USD).

At the event, representatives from the HYUC Central Committee, the Vietnam Youth Federation, and the Son La provincial Youth Union distributed 92 aid packages to affected households in Pung Khuong. Each package included 10 kilograms of rice, blankets, and other essentials.

The delegation also visited and offered support to five families whose homes had to be urgently relocated due to landslides. The total value of the aid was over 250 million VND.

Lam expressed deep sympathy for the community’s losses and encouraged residents to stay resilient and gradually rebuild their lives. He called on the Son La Youth Union and local authorities to coordinate damage assessments at schools, households, and transport infrastructure. He also recommended mobilising resources from other provinces, organisations, and individuals to support those in the flood’s hardest-hit zones.
