USAID Begins Cash Assistance Distributions in the Wake of Typhoon Yagi. USAID is providing over $245,000 in cash assistance to 920 households most affected by Typhoon Yagi across four communes in Bao Yen district, Lao Cai province. Households with three or more members will receive $286 each to help cover essential needs such as food, while households with one or two members will receive $171. On November 1, the distribution of cash assistance began, starting with 40 households in Coc Kieng hamlet of Viet Tien Commune. This assistance was provided in collaboration with the Lao Cai Provincial Women’s Union.
