Photos : Drops aids to the flood victims from helicopter in Arakan State

I feel so so sorry for our people, Arakanese flood victims from northern Arakan, the areas of which were devastated by deadly flooding - at least 35 peole have died and six remain missing.

Arakan is also one of the poorest state in Myanmar despite that it is rich of the most natural resource state in Myanmar.

I can't imagine how they will cook the rice dropped by the Myanmar Government Rescue Members from helicopter yesterday.

You yourselves can decide whether the rescuers did't know how to give the aids to the victims when there is no place to land helicopter.

In fact, the rescuers must use another way of giving the aids such as dropping the aids with rope. But now, as you see, they dropped the aids into water and mud.

I feel so sorry for the victims again.

Ancient Rakhine City of Mrauk-U Proposed for UNESCO World Heritage Site

At the height of their power, they controlled an area covering large parts of eastern Bengal, modern-day Rakhine State and the western part of central Myanmar. Much of the city’s remains are well-preserved and some 380 historic temples are scattered between the lush hills of northern Rakhine.
