Thousands displaced by ongoing clashes in Myanmar's Kayin State


YANGON: Ongoing clashes in Kayin State have displaced around 5,000 civilians in northern and southern Myawady Township, many of whom are still in urgent need of aid.

In the north, fighting forced about 2,500 residents from villages such as Noe Phoe, Hteemuhta, Paw Law, Thanpaya, Chedaw and Kamara to flee their homes. They are now taking refuge in safer areas, including Kyauk Khoe, Kwee Lay, Kaw Wah, Htee Char Yar, Htee Law Thae and Htee Wah Pa Law villages.
