MAGWAY DIVISION – Locals of Myaing Township said that the food they imported is being confiscated by junta troops at security gates and thus they are having a hard time.
Myaing Township is depending on Pakokku Town for food supplies, and currently, the junta troops at checkpoints are confiscating food and medicine in the name of preventing them from reaching to PDFs.
The junta council troops blocked cars from Pakokku town and banned them from carrying more than five 6-pyi rice bags at a time.
A philanthropist in Pakokku said, “I saw with my own eyes at the Inpin Gate that more rice bags than the approved quota were taken out of the car and confiscated by junta troops. The people are facing hardships. Recently, due to insufficient rice to cook, some even have to eat porridge.”
He continued and said, “I hope NUG ministries, recognized by the people, would solve the sufferings of the people as early and good as possible.”
Out of Sagaing’s estimated population of more than 5 million, there are more than 760,000 war victims. Also, nearly 200,000 out of Magway’s population of 4 million and nearly ten percent of Chin State’s population (of 50 thousand people) are currently displaced by civil war.
In nearly two and a half years of the coup, ASEAN and international humanitarian organizations tried to provide aid to the war-affected people, but the Junta council blocked them for security reasons.
