The National Humanitarian Month, which has been held every May since 2018 to respond to the World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day (May 8), has contributed to a strong change in the awareness of humanitarian work of Party committees, authorities, organisations, and individuals, thus creating a widespread solidarity movement in the community.

Acting President Vo Thi Anh Xuan attended a ceremony in the northern mountainous province of Dien Bien on April 22 to launch the National Humanitarian Month 2024.

President Vo Van Thuong attended an event to launch the 2023 National Humanitarian Month and mark the 160th anniversary of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement in the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho on April 23.
