A letter of request will be sent to the president and the state counsellor urging the Union government to provide emergency aid to war refugees in Rakhine State following the the Lower House’s blocking of the submission of a proposal related to the issue, said Khin Saw Wai, Lower House MP for Yathedaung Constituency and member of the Arakan National Party.
The MP reported the plan to reporters before a session of the Union Parliament in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday.
She said the proposal was submitted at the request of local voters after her visits to refugee camps in Yathedaung and Buthidaung townships, where many villagers are taking shelter to flee ongoing fighting. They requested that she table a motion to parliament calling for an end to the conflict and assistance to enable refugees to earn a living in a peaceful manner. (Courtesy of Eleven Myanmar)
