Karenni IDPs in Urgent Need of Humanitarian Aid
Donation protected
Hello:
My name is Kin and I am raising funds on behalf of Karenni Communities in Canada.
This fundraising campaign will be used to support Internally Displaced Persons in Karenni State. Over 70, 000 Karenni residents are urgently in need of humanitarian aid for shelter, medicine, food, and water.
Background:
Myanmar has been in turmoil since the Burmese coup seized power on Feb 1/2021. The entire country turned upside down where human rights and inhumane acts have been continuously violated. The impacted areas are not limited to urban cities like Yangon, Mandalay, but also include Chin, Kachin, Karenni, Karen, and as well as other states.
Among them, I am raising funds, specifically for the Karenni State as it requires our immediate attention for urgent care/assistance.
Karenni state is situated in eastern Myanmar, which was recognized as an independent state from the British government in 1875. Currently, about 300k people are living in Karenni state.
Fighting between the military Junta and residents in Karenni state broke out on May 21/2021.
Many civilians including children and women have been tortured, beaten, and killed. Some homes and churches where residents hide have been burned and destroyed. According to the Irrawaddy news, more than 70, 000 people have been displaced since May 21/2021. They fled their homes intending to be able to return. However, it is estimated that the conflict may escalate for quite some time. Therefore, access to food, medicine, and water will be cut off. It is unclear if and when they'd receive any humanitarian assistance from NGOs.
If you could support this campaign in any way, please do so to save lives.
If you require further clarification about this campaign, please email me at [email redacted] and I will be more than happy to answer any questions/concerns you have.
Greatly appreciate your humanitarian assistance.
Regards,
Kin P. Lay
