Specifically, in December, Vietnam’s second sapper unit has spent weekends levelling the yard for the Comboni Secondary School and digging holes and placing oil tanks for five stations. The unit has also sent staffs to survey, repair, and build roads for administrative and residential areas, and support boat repair for people in Mijak.

In addition, Vietnamese peacekeepers at the UNISFA mission have coordinated with local authorities to organise medical examinations and provide medicine for people working in the education, health and finance sectors.
