“In response to growing resistance, the military has unleashed its full force against the population”, says Burma Campaign UK’s Programme Director, Zoya Phan, in an interview quoted by North East Bylines. [But] “The people of Burma will not give up. That’s why it’s more important than ever for the international community to support us.
“Governments must also increase humanitarian aid to the people of Burma. Incredibly, the UK and the European Union (EU) have cut aid to Burma by 70 per cent since the coup, despite the huge increase in need.”
