Emergency Assistance needed for Cyclone Giri Victims in Arakan State of Myanmar.

A powerful Cyclone Giria hit Kyauk Phyu, Than Dwe and Sittwe districits of Arakan State, Myanmar on 22/10/10 at around 5 PM. Due to lack of proper emergency relief measure, the victims are facing hazardous problems. According to telephonic news, around 4500 refugees are taking shelter at Buddhist temples and government's school buildings in Kyauk Phyu alone. The death toll and the damages following the cyclone Giri increases. However, the state-controlled media remains silent. According to the latest news, 26 bodies have been found in seven villages in Myebon township so far. Since it is crop seasons, almost all crops were destroyed by the cyclone.

Rakhine Thahaya Athin (Arakanese Welfare Association) based in Yangon is organizing Emergency Relief Measure. All volunteer organizations and kind hearted individuals are requested to come forwards to these noble efforts.
