A Deadly Week in Central Vietnam
Two Separate Incidents Kill Four,
Including Three Children
Quang Tri Province, Vietnam – Accidental bomb explosions took the lives of three children and one man in separate incidents in Vietnam’s central coast region. A three-year-old girl and her mother were hospitalized as a result of the accidents, which occurred in Quang Tri and Quang Ngai provinces. Due to strong donor support and a recent program expansion into Quang Ngai and other provinces, CPI was able to respond quickly with emergency medical outreach and support to the victims' families.
