The Chindwin River Strike Committee has provided a meal donation to internally displaced persons (IDPs) at a long-term shelter in Salingyi Township who were forced to flee their homes due to military council offensives. This support aims to help alleviate the daily struggles of displaced civilians who face significant challenges in meeting their basic needs. The IDPs in the camps are experiencing severe difficulties with their daily survival, with particular concerns for the nutritional needs of children and elderly residents.
The Chindwin River Strike Committee, operating with donations from local communities, visited the IDP camps to provide not only rice but also prepared meals. The families sheltering in these camps are struggling immensely with their daily survival needs, and most have no source of income as they were forced to abandon their homes and agricultural lands when fleeing from military operations. The support initiative reflects the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the region, where thousands of civilians have been displaced due to military council operations.
The number of internally displaced persons in the Salingyi area runs into thousands, with many having lived in temporary shelters for over a year. These displaced communities continue to rely heavily on support from local aid groups and donors for their survival. The prospects for their return home remain uncertain and challenging, as the security situation in their original communities continues to be unstable due to ongoing military activities. The displacement situation has created a sustained humanitarian challenge, with families unable to access their livelihoods or return to their normal lives due to the persistent threat of military operations in their home areas.
