According to the agency’s correspondent, there are 500,000 displaced Rohingyas stranded without food or drink on the outskirts of Buthidaung City after being displaced and their homes were burned down by the Myanmar army several days ago.
He added that the stranded IDPs – mostly women, children and elderly – issued urgent appeals to the Muslims and appealed to the world to quickly rescue them from imminent danger of the death, if they continue this for a few more days, adding that the massive numbers of displaced people gathered within a small geographical area after exiting several villages and neighborhoods of Rohingya north of Buthidaung city.
The humanitarian situation of the displaced is getting worse day after day, and a serious humanitarian disaster is being caused in light of the impossibility of returning to their homes, which were completely burned by the army forces, and the risk of being shot by the army if they try to move to any side with the aim of securing their needs.
The Myanmar army recently escalated a wave of criminal violence against the Rohingya minority in the state of Arakan, which resulted in the burning of homes, the displacement, the persecution and the shooting of hundreds of people which includes women, children and the elderly, along with hundreds of thousands of displaced persons.
