"This video documents the horrendous situation that villagers in Toungoo, Nyaung Lay Bin and Muthraw Districts are facing and includes testimonies from villagers affected by this offensive. Throughout this military campaign, which began in November 2005 and is still continuing, villages have been shelled with mortars, looted and burnt to the ground. Crops and food supplies have been destroyed. Burmese soldiers are ordered to shoot on sight regardless of whether it is a combatant or a defenseless civilian. As a result more than 27,000 people have been forced from their homes, either hiding in the jungle or trying to find refuge in Thailand. The Burmese army continues to increase its military presence in these areas and carry out attacks against villagers. Thousands of lives have been affected by this offensive and many have been lost - all valuable and irreplaceable.... The video calls for increased cross border humanitarian assistance, for ASEAN to take a stronger stance against the regime and for a United Nations Security Council Resolution on Burma."
