HURFOM | July Second Week
The situation in Southeastern Burma continues to deteriorate violently. Civilians have been forced to flee their homes and villages, desperately searching for refuge and protection. Even as they try to escape, the junta is relentless in firing ammunition and scores have been injured and killed while running for their lives. In addition, many suffer from preventable diseases due to the Burma Army’s ongoing blocking of aid and urgently needed resources. Civil society groups and social welfare organizations are doing their best to fill the gaps in service provisions. Still, serious risks continue undermining stability in the region and countrywide.
The Human Rights Foundation of Monland (HURFOM) is committed to documenting the widespread atrocities rampant along the Thai-Burma border and in the dozens of townships across our target areas of Mon State, Karen State and the Tanintharyi region. Firing happens in Burma even when there is no conflict to provoke the regime. The attacks against civilians are indiscriminate and targeted.
