Groups of social activists in Myanmar have launched a campaign to sell eggs at greatly reduced prices to sick and needy residents as the military-ruled country reels under a spreading COVID pandemic and sharply rising food prices, Myanmar sources say.
Food and clothing costs have skyrocketed in Myanmar as families struggle to survive amid a third wave of COVID-19 infections that is now killing hundreds every day, sources in the country say, with the price of eggs alone climbing three times since the Feb. 1 military coup that ousted the country’s democratically elected civilian government.
And with Myanmar’s ruling military now failing to meet basic needs, a new movement has appeared in Myanmar’s towns and cities to sell eggs normally costing 200 kyat (U.S. $0.061) to 300 (U.S. $0.18) for only 5 kyat each.
