Myanmar Egress is currently involved in disaster relief operations in 4 severely damaged townships in the Delta region.In so doing, Myanmar Egress has collaborated with some business companies that have been granted permission by the authorities to undertake the rescue and relief work in several storm-hit areas in the delta. Myanmar Egress is engaging in all these disaster relief activities under the name of NARGIS ACTION GROUP MYANMAR. Some 100 of our trainees have submitted themselves for such work, with training provided by Eco-Dev and Action Aid. We would like to extend our operations as much as we can, particularly as we are one of the few locally based organizations involved in such work. At present, we are involved in the delivery of food, drinking water, medicines and shelter materials. Besides this, we are extending our efforts to rebuilding the primary health care services and schools in these areas. We would like to broaden our services to cover cleaning and the assembly of temporary shelters.

If you are a public or private funding agency looking for a fast and easy way to deliver assistance to the worst affected delta areas in Myanmar, please contact us immediately. Eyewitness reports speak of rotting corpses, the outbreak of water borne diseases and rising numbers of desperate survivors awaiting assistance. We estimate that there are over 500,000 victims who need immediate attention. Please help us to help them.
