Emergency aid



Another eye-witness report from Huay Kalok.

The refugees in the camp are like in hell.  The weather is unbearably hot;
they are without shelter, have very little water, can not go out, and are
experiencing a lot of depression.

NGOs are going to provide rice, blankets, mosquito nets, water and medical
supplies.

Noone knows whether or not the Huay Kalok refugees will have to move to Mae
La refugee camp.  Many people think they will have to move there because
the Thai authorities want then to move there.  The people say, "It is
co-operation between these two govenments to force the refugees to move to
another camp or back to Burma."
There are 1376 families and an estimated 8000 refugees in Huay Kalok camp. 

Most of the basic supplies will be support by the big NGO's, but the
following things are still needed. 

1) Emergency patient supplies
	- The burned patients need some special food, clothes, etc.
2) Big pots for cooking rice and curry
3) Food containers, bowls, plates, cups, knives, etc.
3) Clothing and basic supplies for women and children
	- Items for children 
	- Supplies for new borns and pregnant women
	- Underwear and hygenic supplies for women.
4) Hygenic supplies
	- Soap for all
	- Toothbrushes and toothpaste

These are the supplies which Burmese Relief Center--Japan will be providing
with contributions received.
