Rising number of refugees face food shortage in Arakan

In the lost Arakan - especially in northern Arakan - to Myanmar, there are Internally Displaced Person Camps due to Myanmar Army’s offensive military operation against the Arakan Army nowadays. Most of those IDP camps are running out of food because regional Arakan State Government intentionally reduces to provide and blocks all donors and organizations to access IDP camps without permission.

Therefore, donors and organizations are unable to go IDP camps to provide IDPs in the

camps. Moreover, most of organizations do not have funds to assist over the long term.

On the other hand, Myanmar Army is still launching its offensive attacks against the Arakan Army everyday without care of the children and without care of the women, shooting into villages, arresting and killing Arakanese villagers.

So, villagers are to flee from their villages to nearby IDP camps after every offensive attack

launched by Myanmar Army, rising number of IDPs up to 70,000 across the 61 refugee

camps in Northern Arakan.
