Displaced Rohingya Children’s Lives at Risks as Deadly Infectious Diseases Surge

Hundreds of displaced Rohingya children’s lives are at grave risks as the deadly infectious diseases surge in northern Maungdaw, according to reliable sources.

Currently, hundreds of displaced Rohingya children in the region are suffering from diarrhea, disease like pneumonia-like disease and malnutrition. Three children were reported to have died at Dargyizar IDP camps on Friday.

At least 5 children get affected the infectious diseases daily at Dargyizar (Shudo Gozi Bil), Kyetyoepyin (Kiyari Ferang) and Pyaungpaik (Haant Gojja Fara) making the numbers of children infected by the diseases exceed 300 overall. Going by the unfolding situation, the lives of the children could well be at risks if they do not get access to healthcare.

The displaced Rohingyas hardly have any food and medicines as the Burmese government have blocked humanitarian access to the region since the army assaults (on the civilians) began on October 9. (Courtesy of rvisiontv.com)
