Hanoi, Oct. 25 (CNA) A group of Taiwanese businessmen on Friday delivered food and water to areas of Vietnam that have been hard hit by recent floods, a member of the group told CNA on Sunday.

Since the start of October, back-to-back tropical storms have brought heavy rain to central Vietnam, resulting in one of the worst floods the Southeast Asian country has seen in decades.

At least 119 people have been confirmed dead and tens of thousands have been displaced, according to local media reports.

With another tropical storm set to make landfall in Vietnam soon, the Ha Tinh branch of the Council of Taiwanese Chambers of Commerce in Vietnam decided to take advantage of the brief lull in rainfall over the past few days to deliver supplies, Yeh Fu-kuo (葉富國), the group's vice president, told CNA on Sunday.    [FULL  STORY]
