Civilians Trapped in Kachin’s Bhamo Plead for Help


Several civilians trapped in fighting between the Myanmar military and the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) in Bhamo Township were injured when an artillery shell hit a monastery where they were taking refuge on Tuesday.

They have asked aid organizations to help evacuate them down the Irrawaddy River to Mandalay.

A volunteer helping displaced civilians told The Irrawaddy on Tuesday: “We received a request today from residents taking refuge in Theintawgyi Monastery. They said some people were injured by artillery and that they are fleeing the town by boat.”
