On May 6th, 2024, at 9:45 am, the Arakan Army (AA) entered Paung Zar village in Maungdaw Township under the pretext of searching for or clearing "ARSA" and began shooting and shelling. All Rohingya villagers fled.
Later, around 2 pm, the Myanmar military carried out airstrikes, resulting in at least 31 houses being burnt to the ground and dozens more destroyed.
In this attack, two men — a 67-year-old father and his 27-year-old son — lost their lives. The father was burned to ashes.
open your fucking eyes and recognise the pattern; they attacked during the super bowl, the grammys, the oscars and once again now during the met gala, all these westernised distractions so they can continue committing their cruel and inhumane genocide on the innocent people of 🇵🇸
AA militant group has completly displaced four villages Rohingya and burnt down the villages using huge bombs as Rohingya can't return again to their villages.
Rohingya say that UN peace keeping force need in Arakan State.
AA wish to keep all the Rohingya in IDP camp.
Todoy Many Rohingya youths have been beaten up and kidnapped by Rakkine militant group It is not yet known how many Rohingya were killed and how many were injured,
Not sure yet. In North of Maungdaw.
I am hearing reports of #Rohingya armed groups ramping up a recruitment campaign in the Bangladesh refugee camps. This includes at least some recruitment of children.
If you have more info DM me.
On the day new data is out on famine in #GAZA, the Israeli Authorities deny my entry to Gaza.
-Famine is imminent in the northern Gaza Strip, expected to arrive between now and May.
- Two million people= the entire population of Gaza is facing crisis levels of food insecurity or worse.
- Half the population has completely exhausted food supplies and coping capacities. They are struggling with catastrophic hunger (IPC Phase 5) and starvation.
- This is the highest number of people ever recorded as facing catastrophic hunger by the IPC system and double the number just three months ago.
- Earlier, UNICEF warned that the # of children under two years old suffering from acute malnutrition has doubled in one month.
- Children are now dying of dehydration & hunger.
@UNRWA has by far the largest presence among all humanitarian organisations in Gaza.
My visit today was supposed to coordinate & improve the humanitarian response.
This man-made starvation under our watch is a stain on our collective humanity.
Too much time was wasted, all land crossings must open now. Famine can be averted with political will.
The Myanmar military reportedly arrested & attempted to forcefully recruit Rohingyas across Rakhine State, including displacement camps, for military service under the conscription law.
Residents say they “would prefer death” over serving the junta.

PhoneNyoLake villagers R fleeing 2 other villages 4 refuge. Only a handful remain in their homes while over 100 seek shelter in one resident's house. #Situation is dire, with more than 95% of the population evacuating.
Drones are an air force for Myanmar revolutionary groups. The Chin National Army said the secret of recent victories is a new fleet of drones, and drones have been key to their success.
