Two humanitarian emergency response specialists have been dispatched to Burma (Myanmar) where one million people have been affected by flooding in 12 of the country’s 14 states. Their mission will be to support the efforts already being made by disabled people’s organisations to identify the needs of the most vulnerable victims and to ensure they are included in the current humanitarian aid effort. Below, one of these specialists, logistics officer Philippe Mazard, describes the remarkable work being done by these organisations.
One of Humanity & Inclusion's partners in Myanmar is an ambulance organisation that has been mobilised since the first hours after the earthquake in Mandalay. A week on from the disaster, they recount their experience.
The toll of the earthquake in Myanmar continues to rise: 4,316 people have lost their lives, 6,588 have been injured. Humanity & Inclusion teams are mobilised to provide assistance to those affected.
This is an example of an Explosive Hazard Assessment done by Humanity & Inclusion's team in Gaza. It took place in Deir el-Balah last December.
