The Myanmar junta: "Millions of dollars in pandemic relief funding from the IMF have gone missing under the military regime, even while Myanmar battles a surge of COVID-19 cases." https://t.co/CNCHwFTVW1
After massive destruction #Myanmar#military unleashed on Thantlang #Chin, local media reports some pro-military supporters like army-linked #USDP party spokesperson allegedly threatening more similar attacks to other towns if citizens continue resistence #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
Situation in #Myanmar western #Chin state where #Thantlang town getting heavily bombarded by #military. Reports of at least 30 homes destroyed. That location has seen multiple attacks & a steady build-up of troops recently leading to this heavy assault. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
"We really want to go for the peaceful settlement, but the situation as well as the desire of the people already pushed us in that direction, that is the people's defensive revolution." #Myanmar's United Nations envoy @KyawTun62907405 tells @straits_times

Today at the Arria meeting, I urged the UNSC to establish urgently a UN led monitoring mechanism for effective COVID Vaccination and smooth delivery of humanitarian aid and for leaving no one behind.
What the people of Myanmar desperately need is ACTION.
Thank you all for suppot
Seems #Myanmar#military has locked down North Okkalapa General Hospital in eastern #Yangon & not allowing people, including paramedics in. Unclear what reason is. Hospitals been overwhelmed & authorities recently also requested for medical volunteers #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
U Phyo Min Thein worked tirelessly for Yangon's future and I know has a serious heart condition. My thoughts tonight are with him and his family as well with the millions of others in Yangon and around the country facing this terrible pandemic onslaught.
Blocking necessary medical aids,treatment, & services constitute crimes against humanity.Illegal junta must cease all violence & let people thru to deliver medical equipments, treatment, including oxygen, masks,etc.Must be held accountable for inhumane acts.
Disaster on disaster. The collapse of Myanmar's health care system over past 5 months means nearly a million children won't receive the vaccines they normally would against Hepatitis B, tuberculosis, tetanus, measles, mumps, rubella, polio, and influenza. https://t.co/zT9qvezK57
A million or more desperately poor people, in the slums of Yangon and other cities, before living on $1-2 a day, now facing acute hunger, after months of no income and with no savings left. Their crisis began with the pandemic. They cannot wait weeks, let alone months, for help.
