In March 2016, the Government of Viet Nam has declared an emergency as 52 of its 63 provinces are suffering from the most severe saline intrusion and drought in more than 60 years linked to the impact of the 2015/16 El Niño phenomenon. At least 2 million people, including 520,000 children and 1 million women, are currently experiencing acute water shortage and require humanitarian assistance. With recent rainfall the situation in Mekong Delta has improved although impact of saline intrusion is yet to change. Viet Nam has historically been affected by environmental and natural disasters and the ongoing emergency has exacerbated a situation that has silently co-existed with socio-economic progress.
