Sri Lanka will provide US $ one million as well as dry rations collected with the guidance of Buddhist clergy as part of its contribution to the earthquake relief efforts in Myanmar.
A group of relief services comprising medical officers and other health workers too are standing by for immediate departure to Myanmar if the end arises.
