Media statement: APNOR is deeply concerned about the international community's response to those fleeing the bombing of villages in Karen State, Myanmar.
We call on the Thai government to ensure all those fleeing can cross the border and allow humanitarian access to the area.
I call on 1) Royal Thai Government/Army to allow refugee fleeing fighting to Thailand; 2) to allow humanitarian supports to those who are fleeing to Thailand and hiding in jungle in Karen State, 3) UNSC to intervene in stopping air attacks by Burma army in Karen State, Burma.
