CSW has written to the Burmese Embassy calling for an end to the block on humanitarian aid in Rakhine and Kachin States.
Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) has today written to the Burmese Embassy in London calling for an end to the block on humanitarian aid to internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Rakhine and Kachin States.
Additionally, and as part of CSW’s Stop The Block on Aid campaign, a petition signed by Paul Scully MP (Conservative), Valerie Vaz MP (Labour), Jonathan Ashworth MP (Labour), David Burrowes MP (Conservative) and 7,000 members of the public will be sent to the Burmese mission to the United Nations.
Valerie Vaz, Shadow Leader of the House of Commons and Labour Member of Parliament for Walsall South said: “A grave human tragedy is unfolding in Rakhine State, Burma, and it is imperative that immediate action is taken to ensure emergency humanitarian aid reaches those who need it. That is why I am delighted to support CSW's campaign and to add my voice to this petition. Action is needed now to save lives” (Courtesy of csw.org.uk)
