Latest interventions of the Order of Malta in the World
Rome, 06/06/2013
Situation critical amid monsoon conditions: the Order of Malta provides medical treatment, flood protection and sanitation in camps where displaced people are living.
Almost a year after a violent ethnic conflict forced thousands to leave their homes, nearly 140,000 people are still displaced in Myanmar’s Rakhine State. The situation continues to be critical: with the current monsoon season, the displaced are constantly threatened by flooding in the camps. For this reason, the Order of Malta’s worldwide relief agency, Malteser International, is intensifying its relief efforts in the region.
