Brief an alle Freunde und deren Freunde fuer Menschen in Myanmar
Dear Friends Yangon 6.5.08
Beste Gruesse aus Yangon Myanmar von Oliver Esser Soe Thet, Ma Khet Khet - Giacomo
Wir organisieren hier direkte Hilfe in die notstands gebiete :
Dafuer brauchen wir schnelle Hilfe in cash, mittlere hilfe in medical und langfristige Hilfe in Regen Kleidung etc
Schnellste Hilfe
- Food supply ( mit Koechen vom Verband ) & Dach material supply
- Wasser versorgung
- Medical support ( Medizin gegen Durchfall, Paracetamol, Electrolyte & Vitamine
( Kau Tabletten nichts mit Wasser ),
- Die Tabletten um das wasser zu saeubern – hatte ich in Bolivien immer
- Koch utensilien fuer Doerfer wo alles weg geschwommen ist.
Langfristige Hilfe fuer sach spenden nach Myanmar
- Kleidungs supply
- Existenz hilfe
- Regen Kleidung
Da wir hier vor ort sind koennen wir schnell und flexible reagieren und helfen da und was wo fehlt und koennen auch so im process richtungen aendern wenn noetig.
Nun sind wir bei 20.000 Totel und 30.000 vemissten. Es gab einen grossen wasser drang vom meer ins land welches an einem platz alleine 90 boote die zur sicherheit in einen fluss gebracht wurden – durch die kraft alle ploetzlich im Dorf standen und nicht mehr im Fluss.
Das grosse Koeln Dueseldorf " Road to Mandalay " Boot war in Yangon am River , der Surm hat das ganze schiff auf Land gedrueckt. Ngapali Beach hat ueberhaupt nichts abbekommen ( wie vor 2 jahren sturm Malar und Tsunami ) Ngapali liegt geographisch sehr gut geschuetzt durch Burma Platte und \Rakhine Berge ).
Die Myanmar Regierung hat in die betroffenen gebiete Sateliten Phones gespendet um schnelle kommunikation zu sichern und zur zeit einen ersten Geld Betrag von erstmal 50 Million $ US ( das bedeutet wenn man es mit dem westlichen preis standards vergleicht = 500 Millionen $ US als sofort Hilfe von der Myanmar Regierung in die notstands gebiete fuer Food und Hausing )
Alle arbeiten hand in hand zu sammen Armee, Feuerwehr, Frauen Vereinigung, Menschen von ueberall.
Das Referndum ueber die verfassung hatte Die Regierung statt 10.5.8 auf den 26. Juni verlegt !!!
Mit Hubschraubern der Armee werden urgent verletzte von den gebieten nach Yangon geflogen.
We are OK in Yangon even Yangon was hit also very hard , but compared to the out scurts as well Delta, Ayayawaddy, Kayin, Bago and Molemine Division where people lost every thing which they had. Just one city lost over 3000 of the 4000 houses.
The Myanmar Chefs Association has set up an emergency channel via " Berlin Office " Rene Esser ( Brother of Oliver E Soe Thet - President of Myanmar Chefs Association ).
Electricity, Phone , Internet is not working from Myanmar at present, please refer all info and help through
