Two hundred survivors from East Dagon Wards 1,2,3 and 4 gatheredoutsidethe ICRC offices at 9.30 am, 10^th June. They were compelled to takeaction out of sheer frustration at barely surviving on the aid providedby private donors, and were asking to receive international aid directly.
Military intelligence agents and members of the USDA dispersed thecrowd. Two volunteers in the relief effort, Kyaw Kyaw Than and EaintKhaing Oo (a reporter for Ecovision), were arrested for supporting thecyclone victims’ calls.
