DDHK News, Myanmar - United Nations (UN) calls on the international community to help its Rohingya Muslims, Myanmar (Burma). The UN's special envoy said Muslims lacked water and medical care.
Attacks on humanitarian aid groups are the latest hardship to increasingly trouble Rohingya Muslims. "The attack could be a crime against humanity," he said, Monday (7/4).
Tomas Ojea Quintana, the UN special envoy, said the wave of attacks on aid organizations was causing health hazards, water shortages and food supplies increasing the vulnerability of Rohingya Muslims.
"The latest developments in Rakhine state are the latest in a long history of discrimination and persecution against the Rohingya community which could amount to crimes against humanity," he said in a statement.
More than 170 humanitarian aid workers were pulled out of the country. Buddhist extremists forced them to leave Myanmar. As a result, some 140.000 Rohingya Muslims in refugee camps, as well as more than 700.000 vulnerable people in remote villages, are increasingly displaced.
