Relief kits delivered to flood-hit families in Myanmar

Plan is distributing relief kits to 3,375 people in 4 flood-affected villages of Kyaung Gone Township in Myanmar.

Monsoon flooding in August affected 70,000 people along the Ayeyarwady Delta, forcing 467 schools to close.

An assessment conducted by Plan and local partner Swanyee Development Foundation identified a need for non-food items among families who had been unable to evacuate from the villages of Pauk Ngu, Doe Tan, Tet Seik, Laye Kwellaher.

Plan’s relief kits comprise of hygiene items, mosquito nets, blankets, and clothes for children. Although the flood water has now receded in affected areas, muddy conditions are slowing down all community activities and access remains difficult as villages can only be reached by river.
