Myanmar: Aid Groups and Myanmar Army

myanmar: Inside the Bulukhali refugee camp, CTV's Peter Akman spoke to some of the victims of what the United Nations calls textbook ethnic cleansing, according to CTV. Nur Hawa, 28, says her husband was killed by Myanmar. Members of the Muslim minority group who managed to escape persecution and death as the Myanmar army burned down their villages are now facing hunger and disease. She escaped with her daughter, who suffered a fever and has a badly bloated belly. Doctors have been deployed by aid groups like the Minhaj Welfare Foundation, but the burden is enormous. Hawa has no money to buy food. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
