  U Tha Mya Kyaw, secretary of the Rakhine Thahaya Association (Yangon), said four assessment teams had left Yangon on November 15 to visit Kyaukpyu, Myebon, Pauktaw and Minbya townships in Rakhine State.
  
  The teams included members of the Cyclone Giri Relief Committee (Rakhine Families in Yangon) in collaboration with local NGOs, including the Community Development Association, Ar Yone Oo Relief and Development, and Mercy Corps.
  
  “The teams will assess the livelihood situation of villagers in those areas,” U Tha Mya Kyaw said.
  
  Our aim of creating this group is to provide shelter and food to the needy victims that are injured during cyclones at various places.  less
