The Dawei Democracy Movement Strike Committee (DDMSC) distributed 4.4 million kyats of food aid to 250 conflict-affected families in Aukkyaukwut Village, in Thanintharyi Region’s Launglon Township.

The organisation said that it had provided essential food products such as rice, oil, and onions to families who were displaced when they had to flee their homes in April because of the armed conflict.

The Dawei Democracy Movement Strike Committee (DDMSC) is based in Dawei District’s Launglon Township.

More than 7,000 people have been been displaced by fighting in Tanintharyi Region since the military coup two years ago, according to the Myanmar Peace Monitor.
