"The Burma Human Rights Network has been informed by several Rohingya villagers who remained in Burma?s Northern Rakhine State of continued food shortages and unlivable conditions due to restrictions put in place by the government and security forces. Of those remaining, frequent complaints were made related to limited food rations, inability to access agricultural work, severe travel restrictions and fear of continuing attacks by vigilante groups from neighboring ethnic Rakhine communities. Villagers from Gutar Pyin, in Buthidaung Township, have complained of food shortages and increased restrictions on movement since August of 2017 when security forces began their ?clearance operations” in the area. After 200 homes were burnt down as part of the military?s campaign, only 1500 villagers are reported to remain. Those remaining lack adequate shelter and are dependent on monthly rations from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). One villager told BHRN, ?In one house three families have to live together. We?ve requested permission from the authorities to rebuild the homes but we have not received it yet.”..."
