(HBO) – A special train coded HB2021 departed Giap Bat Station in Hanoi on 20:45 of August 11 for the south, carrying more than 300 tonnes of goods and necessities donated by residents of Hoa Binh to support the needy in COVID-hit localities of Binh Duong and Ho Chi Minh City.

The train arrived in Song Than Station in Binh Duong in the early morning of August 14. The Hanoi Railway joint Stock Company transported the goods, which filled 11 coaches, for free.

 Officials from the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee and the militia force of Ward 5, Tan Binh district of HCM City receive the goods provided by Hoa Binh province to support COVID-19-hit people.

Upon the train's arrival in Song Than Station, the goods were unloaded and handed over to HCM City (250 tonnes) and Binh Duong (50 tonnes).

The Vietnam Fatherland Front Committees of HCM City and Binh Duong coordinated with the militia and military forces to receive, transport and distribute the goods to the needy. The benefited people are those in quarantine and locked-downed areas, poor labourers, homeless people, workers losing their jobs, and disadvantaged people.
