The Maungtaw District Management Department yesterday donated about 788 bags of rice to displaced persons in Buthidaung.
Staff from the department distributed rice bags in four IDP camps set up at two monasteries and two villages.
More than 5,400 people from 1,179 households, displaced by the current armed conflict, are sheltering at the four camps.
The rice distributed yesterday would last each person two weeks, said officials. —Thet Lwin Soe (IPRD)
