Only 35% of the population affected in the 15 most severely affected of the 37 affected townships in Yangon and the Ayeyarwady delta has received plastic sheeting for shelter1. This provides only a simple cover from the rain, and is a small component of the required shelter kits that would enable a family to cook meals, transport and purify water and supply families with the necessary tools to erect a robust structure. In Bogale township, in the most southern part of the delta area, it is estimated that 286,000 people are affected. Approximately 36% of the population of Bogale are in informal or official temporary settlements, or with host families, or have moved out of Bogale. Given that these families would also require shelter materials, it is estimated that only 4.5% of those in need have been reached with plastic sheeting. Shelter, Hamlet and Family Kits in the required quantity are urgently needed for the affected areas, to complement national efforts. In Mawlamyinegyun where 230,000 were affected, 88% still require shelter materials.... These include 71,300 people who are staying with relatives. 6.
