Myanmar Cyclone - An Appeal

Myanmar Cylone


Just today I received a message from our Emergency Response Team in Myanmar and I wanted to share some information with you about the crisis.

Our emergency response colleagues are working closely with two international partners already established in country, CESVI and GAA. With water sources contaminated, food supplies scarce and a great risk of disease outbreaks, future critical needs are clear. Today 2,000 households will be supplied with a two week food ration of rice, pulses, oil and salt. One thousand other households will receive non-food items like soap, plastic buckets, containers and plastic sheeting. Plastic sheeting is especially important as it can be used for rainwater collection.

Our appeal is simple. We need to raise funds quickly to help our team alleviate the suffering of the people whose lives have been devastated by this cyclone. If any of your friends, family or work colleagues are interested in supporting Concern's appeal, please forward this email today, or they can always visit our website at www.concernusa.org. Our update is right there on the front page.

Be assured we will keep you updated as soon as we hear more information from the field.

Thank you for caring.

Best wishes,
Siobhan Walsh
