UNESCO has announced a $740,000 emergency aid package for Vietnam to protect its cultural heritage and education in regions affected by severe storms. The support, funded by the World Heritage Fund, will assist with damage assessments and emergency measures at key sites, including the World Heritage-listed cities of Hue and Hoi An. The initiative aims to stabilize both tangible and intangible heritage, restore learning facilities, and work collaboratively with local authorities, ensuring that Vietnam’s historical and educational assets are preserved despite natural disasters.
