An international humanitarian organization said Wednesday it would provide US$10 million to support India and Myanmar where recent flooding has left extensive damages.
U.S.-based World Vision said a cyclone during the current monsoon season killed 160 people in northeast India, with millions of flood victims affected from over 10,000 villages in the region.
In Myanmar, 36 were killed with 215,000 refugees left displaced.
The organization distributed supplies including waterproof clothing, blankets and other hygiene products to 1,512 families and food to 80 families in India.
It is working on other relief measures, with plans to support 55,000 people in Myanmar.
World Vision Korea, the local branch, decided to participate by giving $10,000 as emergency aid, while holding a fundraiser through its Web site.
"After the emergency aid, we will move on to reconstructing the two countries," a spokesperson for World Vision Korea said.(Yonhap)
