The Round-up offers a weekly sample of what our sister Red Cross Societies are working on around the world.
MALAWI: Unprecedented flooding has caused chaos in southern Malawi where at least 230,000 people have been displaced. The Malawi Red Cross Society, with the support of the IFRC, has been providing food, mosquito nets and kitchen sets.
MYANMAR: To date, the Myanmar Red Cross Society has been assisting more than 7,000 people who have been displaced by intense fighting in north-eastern Shan State. With 500-800 people arriving in Lashio each day to escape the violence, Red Cross volunteers have been deployed to provide first aid and provide blood donation services. The volunteers are also distributing household items and family kits to displaced families at designated camps.
