Norway has reportedly contributed US$500,000 to assist Myanmar’s flood-stricken areas.

 

According to the Norwegian Embas­sy, Norway’s UNOPS has provided this sum in collaboration with donors to sup­port the rehabilitation of regions impacted by the floods in Myanmar. The emergency relief supplies include shelter, food, puri­fied water, and medicines, which will be distributed by the Norwegian Red Cross and its partner organizations through the Myanmar Red Cross Society.

 

Myanmar has experienced wide­spread floods since early September due to Typhoon Yagi, and the United States will also contribute to flood relief efforts. — ASH/MKKS
