As water levels continue to rise in the Shwegyin and Sittaung rivers, residents from low-lying areas in Shwegyin Township, Nyaung Lay Pin District, Bago Region, have been relocated to four temporary relief camps.

This morning, the Chairperson of the Township Maternal and Child Welfare Association, along with members of the Township Women’s Affairs Federation, visited the camps to provide food supplies and medical assistance to those affected.

As of the morning of 31 July, a total of 1,488 people from 343 households—including 657 males and 831 females—have taken shelter in the relief camps. Under the guidance of the Bago Region Government, members of the District and Township Maternal and Child Welfare Associations and the Women’s Affairs Federation distributed essential food items, including rice, dried noodles, chicken, and purified drinking water.

Additionally, Dr. Thein Naing Lin and a medical team from the Township Health Department conducted health check-ups and provided medical care to the displaced residents.— Tun Tun Zaw (IPRD)
