MYANMAR: Indiscriminate attacks against civilians put children at risk

Summary: Indiscriminate attacks on civilians in the district of Papun continue to be carried out by the military. Pregnant women are particularly vulnerable to such attacks, especially while fleeing the military hostilities

Civilians in Dooplaya and Pa'an districts continue to be impacted by conflict between the Tatmadaw and armed Karen groups, who have increased fighting since November 7th 2010. The situation remains highly unstable and civilians report a variety of human rights and security concerns related to ongoing conflict and conflict-related abuse. In order to provide as current information as possible on the fighting and related human rights and protection concerns, KHRG has developed this page as a 'Displacement Monitoring' section of the KHRG website.
