Today, USCB is continuing our campaign for Refugee Awareness Month. Today, our focus is on the impact of healthcare on internally displaced people.
According to the US NIH. Reports, IDPs in Burma reported having some access to medical aid before the attempted coup in 2021, but now, aid has stopped on the orders of the junta regime.
To this point, a Burmese IDP told the NIH, “Our location in the jungle is a breeding ground for disease transmission, particularly malaria and dengue fever, caused by mosquitoes. Many people here do not have mosquito nets and have been sick with malaria and dengue fever"
We sincerely strive for the betterment of internally displaced people in Burma, and will continue to advocate for them
