Sanitation and healthcare services ongoing in flood-hit areas

RELIEF and recovery efforts continue in flood-stricken villages and districts, including Nay Pyi Taw Council Area and other regions and states impacted by flooding.

In these areas, efforts are ongoing to clean up and relocate necessary items, as well as clear fallen trees and debris. Members of Tatmadaw, police, fire brigade, Red Cross, and civil society organizations are actively cooperating with locals to undertake tasks in flood-hit areas across Nay Pyi Taw Union Territory, as well as various regions and states. Relief and restoration operations are actively coordinated. 

Efforts were ongoing yesterday in Nay Pyi Taw Council Area, particularly in Zeyathiri, Pyinmana, Lewe, and Pobbathiri townships.

Similarly, recovery measures are being taken in Kayah State’s Loikaw Township. These efforts include cleaning public spaces such as monasteries, schools, hospitals, clinics, and government buildings, as well as clearing debris like silt and fallen trees.

Additionally, health teams have been providing essential medical services and education sessions in temporary relief camps for flood victims. They distribute aid supplies, including clothing, necessary items, food and donations. Yesterday, Lt-Gen Phone Myat from the Commander-in-Chief (Army) office and Commander Maj-Gen Soe Min of the Nay Pyi Taw Command visited flood victims in Aungthuka, Paunglaung, Bokoelone, and Heyman villages in Lewe Township, where they provided rice, oil, and food supplies. They also visited Venerable Bhaddanta Pannasiri, the abbot of Aungthuka Monastery, and offered donations. Additionally, efforts are underway to repair roads and bridges that were damaged by the flooding. Temporary Bailey bridges were installed as replacements, and repairs to the remaining bridges are underway to restore transport links as quickly as possible. — MNA/KZL
