Ahn Cheol-soo: "Emergency Disaster Fund Should Be Used for Jamboree to Deploy Military Tents"

At the World Scout Jamboree (hereinafter Jamboree) held in Saemangeum, Jeonbuk, concerns are growing as many heat-related illnesses have occurred due to the heatwave. In response, Ahn Cheol-soo, a member of the People Power Party, raised his voice, stating that "large military tents and other emergency disaster relief measures are necessary."

On the 3rd, Ahn posted on his social media (SNS), "I am anxious that there might even be fatalities," and urged, "The government must urgently mobilize all available large tents, including military tents, and install air conditioners in the tents."

He added, "Even if it requires using contingency funds or emergency disaster relief funds, support must be provided promptly," and encouraged support by saying, "After the event ends, the outdoor air conditioners can be donated and utilized by the military units that provided the tents or by marginalized communities."

Ahn said, "There are 45,000 participants from around the world enduring the heatwave without sufficient electricity, proper restroom facilities, or even fans, let alone air conditioners," and expressed concern, "This is a disaster situation. It could lead to global criticism."
