Human Catastrophe Unfolding In Myanmar: Press TV Correspondent
Press TV has a conducted an interview with a Press TV correspondent in Rakhine State of Myanmar to further discuss the issue.
Press TV: First of all tell us what you have been seeing there where you are. Of course the reports that we are getting about villages being burned down, mosques being burned down exclusively what you have been telling us from what you have been seeing on the ground, so do tell us the details?
Press TV reporter: Well essentially I want to tell you about these camps. I went to a camp this morning where about 40,000 people were injured. Now, there is enough food in this camp, enough food to survive, but they are very low on medical supplies. One man there since the camp started 40 days ago has seen that many children have died from preventable diseases since the camp started. I saw one child in very bad condition. He was ill from diarrhea-related illness, now he is being carried by his father and he is unable to walk.
So the situation is pretty dire in this camp particularly with the lack of medical supplies. We have to also remember that this camp that I was allowed to get into is probably one of the best camps in one of the best conditions. The Turkish ambassador was allowed in yesterday and there was also the vice president of Indonesia and some UN organizations allowed in today.
