The
fourth wave of young social workers have arrived in Maungtaw and Buthidaung
townships yesterday to aid the UEHRD (Union Enterprise for Humanitarian
Assistance, Resettlement and Developments in Rakhine) efforts there.
U
Than Kyaw Htay, a member of the Department for Relief and Resettlement, said
that the social workers went around the two towns to distribute rice, oil,
salt, sardine cans, onions, potatoes and baby milk powders to families living
in the area.
“We
will survey which villages haven’t received aid yet and carry out the tasks
soon,” said U Than Kyaw Htay. “We will be performing our tasks for the UEHRD
until 30 January.”
The
social workers had divided into two groups to assist the townships
respectively. U Than Kyaw Htay said future tasks will include delivering aid to
villages that have yet to receive them and that this will be accomplished with
help from the Rakhine Government and generous donors from around the country.
Social workers have delivered aid to Maungtaw and Buthidaung since November
2017 and provided humanitarian aid to around 35,408 people in 84 villages.
