Families of Essex lorry victims to borrow from government to repatriate remains to Vietnam

Families in central Vietnam, where many of the 39 victims come from, said they were desperate to bring their loved ones back nearly four weeks after the tragedy, despite the steep loans they will have to take on. The family already borrowed more than $30,000 to send Ha to Europe, a huge sum in his province of Nghe An where the average annual per capita income is around $1,200.

The foreign ministry urged families to opt for cremation “to ensure speed, low-cost and sanitation safety”, according to the document.
