(Worthy News) – The Refugees International non-profit organization reported last month that the Burmese Army (Tatmadaw) in Myanmar has been restricting humanitarian aid to civilians, notably in areas with large populations of Christians, International Christian Concern (ICC) reports.
Among the areas of war-torn Myanmar that have been the hardest hit by the military’s violence are the southeastern states of Kayah and Karen, where there are large Christian communities, and the predominantly Christian-occupied northwestern state of Chin, ICC said.
According to Refugee International, civilians are deprived of basic necessities, as access roads into Myanmar from Thailand have been blocked, ICC reports. “Currently, over 14 million people need humanitarian aid in Myanmar,” ICC said in its report. “Please pray that civilians in Myanmar can freely receive assistance.”
