YANGON, July 31 (Xinhua) — A total of 10,395 people from 2,298 families have been evacuated to 24 temporary shelters due to flooding in Hpa-an township in Kayin state, state broadcaster Myanmar Radio Television reported late Wednesday.
The evacuation was carried out by disaster management committee members, firefighters, the Myanmar Red Cross Society and community organisations on Wednesday as the water level of the Thanlwin River exceeded the danger mark due to heavy rain, the statement said.
Water levels rose about six feet above the danger mark on Thursday and are expected to remain at that level for at least another day, according to the Department of Meteorology and Hydrology.
The Kayin State Government, in collaboration with philanthropists, is providing basic food items, while the Ministry of Health is providing medical care and other services, the statement said. –0–
