May 9th 2008: Situation in Myanmar



Today
- Hlaing Thar Yar: 64 bags of rice to victims only (60 x 16,800 kyats, 2 x 25,000, 2 x 21,600)
- We were surrounded by about a thousand villagers, distributed to real heads of YatKwatSu (about 10 of them) based on the figures. Many of them showed their appreciations and said "Thar Du" to all. (pictures attached)
- Car service = 40,000 kyats
- Tontay: 30 bags through Save the Children (SC) (30 x 16,800 kyats)
- Nga Pu Taw: 60 bags through SC (60 x 16,800 kyats)
- 2 ORS and 4 WPT through Air Force (they are flying 9 helicopters back/forth for the whole day) - Detailed destinations will be provided later.
- SM will take care of Dala, GyatKyi, TharKayTha, will provide rice: he will call back on amount and logistics later today
- TZ's crew will take care of Delta area (various township): I will give him the rest of WPTablets for distribution

Tomorrow
- I will go to either Bogalay or Laputta
- SM and his brothers will help me for logistics etc. We can rely on him for future plan.
- The operations need to continue for months and funds need to be provided either small or large scales whatever possible
- We don't have time to really distinguish between real victims and not and it's very hard. One thing for sure is that everyone looks very desperate.

Yangon is trying to be back to normal, many people don't look desparate, back to their normal daily work. Some areas received electricity starting from Yesterday, water from the day before yesterday. Many schools in YGN (including TTC) are in bad shape. The roofs blown away and the chool supposes to start on the first week of June.
