"Today, I visited Hlain Tar Yar. I
have provided rice bags to 21 families and gave the poor
food allowances. In Shwe Pyi Tar district we distributed
food aid to 100 families. The situation on the ground is
very critical and the burial of thousands is one of the key
priorities." (UWT Burma
Fieldworker)
Cyclone Nargis has left over 200,00 people dead and millions
homeless. UWT has launched an Emergency Appeal for the
victims and allocated an initial £100,000. A UWT
representative will be flying out in the next few days.
UWT has been operating in Burma for over
three years, with fieldworkers on the ground, it is in a
unique position to deliver Emergency Aid. The first phase of
the relief program has started on the ground with the
initial assessment. Food packets, medicines and temporary
shelter kits continue to be distributed and further funds
are required to initiate medium and long term projects.
Please donate generously. Your support
will Insha'Allah save lives and regenerate the livelihood of
the Burmese people.
