Updates for 1.June.2008

Private donors reported that in many areas, all donors have been asked to hand over the supplies to a central donation centre located in that area. We received the news a few days ago, but we are unable to verify if this applies to all places or only larger towns.

Meanwhile, we have been informed that two container loads of clothing sent by collection centres in Peninsula Plaza, Singapore, are currently stuck at the Yangon International Airport due to customs issues. The clothes are donated by well wishers from Singapore. As a result, the coordinators have stopped accepting collection for the moment.

However, it is still possible to send aid items to Yangon at reduced freight charges. Please make inquiries at Peninsula Plaza.
