Residents of Kawkareik Still in Need of Assistance to Escape Conflict Zones

Due to ongoing armed clashes in Kawkareik Township, Karen State, and airstrikes by the military council on Kanni village, residents in and around the area are still in urgent need of assistance to evacuate to safer locations, according to local volunteers aiding displaced people.

Since the second week of April, fighting between military council troops and joint resistance forces has intensified around the entry and exit routes of Kawkareik town. The military has also been conducting airstrikes on Kyone Doe and Kanni villages.
