SCIAF launches emergency Myanmar appeal

Local Catholic Church partners of SCIAF and the wider Caritas Internationalis network are delivering aid to the people of Myanmar following the devastation caused by Cyclone Nagris, despite wider concerns on aid delivery.

SCIAF has launched a Scotland-wide Myanmar (Burma) Appeal to help its Church partners deliver urgent aid and long term support.

Local Church partners in Myanmar are providing food and other aid items such as medicines and temporary shelters to 10,000 people in Yangon and Irrawaddy. That figure is expected to rise to 40,000 people.

Full story at SCIAF.
