"We have ensured that the assistance sent is in accordance with the needs of the (earthquake) survivors in Myanmar," Baznas chairperson Noor Achmad said in a statement released here on Thursday.
He emphasized that his side is committed to humanitarian actions, both domestic and international.
The aid consists of 100 generators, 50 tents, 10 thousand sarongs, one thousand hygiene kits for women and children, five thousand blankets, 50 tarpaulins, and essential medicines required by quake-affected communities in Myanmar.
"In addition to logistical aid, we are also dispatching a medical team from the Baznas Healthy House (RSB) consisting of five members, and five members of the Baznas disaster response team (BTB) who will assist in helping victims," he informed.
He expressed the hope that the aid will ease the burden on earthquake-affected communities in Myanmar, while strengthening solidarity between Indonesia and Myanmar in facing emergency situations.
