Mon State Government Provides Food Aid to Flood-Hit Households in Bilin Township

Bilin, 25 July

Continuous heavy rainfall since 24 July has caused the Bilin River in Mon State to overflow, resulting in flooding across three urban wards and five villages in Bilin Township.

In response, the Mon State Government has donated 100 bags of rice, while well-wishers contributed dry noodles, eggs, and clean drinking water. The supplies were distributed this afternoon to flood-affected residents by U Sithu Aung, Chairman of the Township Disaster Management Committee, along with officials.

As of this morning, eight temporary relief camps have been established in Bilin Township. A total of 2,129 people from 567 households—including 934 males and 1,195 females—have been relocated to safer areas.— Township IPRD
