Karenni IDPs in Taunggyi Suffering from Cold-Related Illnesses

Karenni IDPs currently residing in Taunggyi Township, Shan State, are experiencing widespread cases of diarrhea, vomiting, and cold-related illnesses due to the harsh winter conditions, according to an IDP assistance worker.

These illnesses began in early January, with many IDPs living in makeshift shelters that could not provide adequate protection against the cold. Blankets and warm clothing are insufficient as well.
