CPI Supports Emergency Relief for Displaced Communities in Kachin State

​A recent escalation of conflict in Kachin State, Myanmar, has displaced more than 5,000 people from their homes, and many more remain trapped in conflict zones. On May 12 and 13, 2018, in partnership with the Humanitarian Coordination Initiative (HCI), Community Partners International (CPI) provided emergency food packages to 200 displaced families sheltering in Tanai township. The packages contained rice, oil, salt, chickpeas and sardines to ensure that families have access to adequate nutrition during this emergency period. CPI is continuing to monitor the situation to identify ways that we can support populations affected and displaced by this conflict.
