3. Many people have had restricted access to markets and the majority of shops have shut down, leaving families with little or no income. People have been assisted with food, water and other essential items such as hygiene material and dignity kits*.
Daw Ma Aye Sein and her village received farm seeds and fertilizers to help them grow their own food. Tomato seeds were her favourite.
Mobile health clinics play a crucial role in remote areas. Many facilities have been set up to make health care more accessible.
* Dignity kits: In addition to feminine hygiene items, the kits come with two scarves, a long dress, underwear, sandals and a solar torch. The clothes cover arms and legs, enabling women and girls to go out into public spaces within the camps. The flashlight will help them move about at night, including to latrines.

4. Amidst the chaos, many people have been separated from their families and loved ones. Restoring these family links will be crucial.
Unpleasant weather conditions also pose a threat to people’s health and well-being, given that there are inadequate shelters to support the influx of people through the border area.
Engaging with people and seeking their feedback have been helping to better address the needs of the community.
