UN official urges aid for Myanmar's Rakhine state
(MENAFN) A U.N. official has urged Myanmar to give aid workers "predictable, sustained access" to Rakhine state, where fighting between government troops and rebels has relocated nearly 33,000 people since late last year, as lack of aid has cost lives.
According to a U.N. assistant secretary-general for humanitarian affairs, authorities had rejected her requests to meet those displaced by the conflict in a region banned to most aid groups since the fighting started.
The official said: "We need access " predictable, sustained access " to reach the people in need."
"If the assistance, including mobile clinics, cannot get to the people, they just don"t have the services and their needs are not being met and some people are dying," she added.
