Ko Wai Hin Aung stated that he individually contributed a total of 116,600,000 kyats along with two large bags of warm winter clothing on January 5.

Ko Wai Hin Aung stated to Narinjara, "They currently have numerous needs. As the conflict area has grown, they must stay in one location and relocate from their previous shelter to a new area that they believed would be safer, making everything much more challenging.

Ko Wai Hin Aung stated that the donation of 116,600,000 kyats consisted of 10,000,000 kyats contributed by the Sar Mee-ein (Literary Lantern) Charity Association located in Singapore.

The remaining 106.6 million is a separate contribution from the donations provided by local and international donors for the bombing incident at Mrauk-U Hospital.

At present, there are approximately 50,000 displaced individuals in Kyaukphyu Township, and they are in urgent need of food, sanitation facilities, and medical supplies, as well as blankets and warm clothing.
