Burma Link Infographic Briefer: Karen IDPs in Ei Tu Hta Need Support

Burma Link | December 21, 2017

Today (December 21, 2017), Burma Link publishes an infographic briefer about the Karen IDP (internally displaced person) camp Ei Tu Hta. Since 2006, Ei Tu Hta has provided refuge for thousands of Karen civilians fleeing armed conflict and Burma Army abuse in northern Karen State. Whilst IDPs in Ei Tu Hta continue to seek protection and to rely on international assistance, long-standing international food aid to Ei Tu Hta ceased in October 2017.

The briefer highlights the urgent need for continuing the support for the IDPs, presenting both information about the camp and voices of Ei Tu Hta camp leadership. The briefer provides an overview of the camp’s history and demographics as well as the current situation regarding food and water supplies, health and education services, and obstacles to return.

Burma Link urges the international donors and non-governmental organizations to maintain their vital support until the IDPs’ livelihoods are sustainable or until they are able to voluntarily return in safety and dignity.
