Writer's picture: Saw Kyaw OoSaw Kyaw Oo

Healthcare services run by the International Rescue Committee (IRC) in refugee camps along the Thailand-Myanmar border were suspended on Monday following an executive order from the U.S. President Donald Trump.


The IRC is the main healthcare provider in the refugee camps housing around 100,000 from Myanmar in Thailand along its 1,501 mile (2,416 km)-long border.


The IRC gets about half of its funding from the U.S. government and part of its work is to help resettle refugees to the U.S.
