S. Korea to provide additional US$ 2 mil. worth of relief items to earthquake-hit Myanmar

Korea will provide an additional two-million U.S. dollars worth of urgent relief items to Myanmar to aid its recovery after the recent deadly earthquake there.

According to the Foreign Ministry earlier today the items will include five-hundred camping tents for the displaced four-thousand water bottles and 80-thousand blankets.

This follows Seoul's initial two-million dollars worth of humanitarian assistance sent last week through the International Committee of the Red Cross.

More than ten days have passed since the massive quake and as of this Tuesday the death toll stands at around three-thousand-six-hundred.
