Stories:
Military Coup in Burma
Back in February the democratically elected government in Burma / Myanmar was replaced by the nations military. Since then there have been many people killed and the army is attacking many Karen areas. This has lead to thousands of civilians being displaced and having to hide in the forest. Some of these groups are being shelled by the military and are running for their lives.
There are over 5000 Internally Displaced People (IDPs) known to be hiding in the forests at this time. The people are trying to flee to refugee camps in Thailand, but those camps and the boarder are closed off. As the fighting continues in the cities the number of IDPs and refugees is only increasing.
Right now there are four new refugee camps forming close to the Thai / Burmese border. Australian Mercy, a ministry of Youth With A Mission, can not get aid into the cities at the time because of the violence happening there, but they can get aid into the IDP camps forming on the boarder.
On the Australian Mercy web-site you can see what is needed to meet the needs of the Internally Displaced People. The needs include food, clothing, medicines, and basic aid. The people are desperate, and the situation there is getting worse, please take the time to pray and consider how you can help ...
