Thai Foreign Minister Parnpree Bahiddha-nukara said he expects the delivery of humanitarian assistance to displaced people inside Myanmar to begin by the first week of March with the border area in Tak province to be used as the staging point.

 

Speaking to Thai PBS World in a recent interview, Parnpree said efforts will be made to ensure that the humanitarian assistance will be given out without discrimination to people of all groups affected by the ongoing fighting in various parts of the country.

 

The delivery of the assistance, which initially will comprise food and medical supplies, will be overseen by the Red Cross Society of Thailand and Myanmar, he said.
