Reaching Affected Areas

Every day, the scale of our operation is increasing. We have so far managed to deliver 275 tons of supplies to people in the Delta area.

We bring the supplies by truck from Yangon to our support base in Pathein, from where further distribution has to take place by boat.

MSF has contracted 10 boats. Navigation is very challenging on the delta. Yesterday [Wednesday] one of our contracted boats capsized but fortunately no-one was hurt.

Visit the Doctors Without Borders website to learn more about the organization's relief work in Myanmar.
