Myanmar: Inhuman military attacks in earthquake areas that hinder relief efforts

Amnesty International said today that the Myanmar army should refrain from deliberate air strikes and other forms of attack on civil targets in areas affected by earthquakes last week with an area of ​​7.7 degrees.

The testimony gathered by Amnesty International is witnessing in the days after the earthquake that the army continued its campaign of deadly air strikes, adding that the efforts of recovery, fear and anxiety of survivors.

“The Myanmar Army, along with all other actors participating in earthquake's relief efforts, may be completely respected and that the humanitarian needs of survivors are the utmost priority,” said Joe Freeman, a researcher at Myanmar, an Amnesty International researcher.

“You cannot seek help with one hand and bombing with the other. Air strikes and attack civilians in the same area that the earthquake hit is inhuman and shows a flagrant disregard for human rights.”

At least 2065 people were killed and more than 3,900 people were injured as a result of the earthquake, according to the military -controlled media in Myanmar. The rapid rise in characters from day to day, as well as the challenges of communication, have prompted fears of much larger losses.

The earthquake center in the epic, which is a sprawling area in central Myanmar. Mandalay, the second largest city in Myanmar, the head of the capital, Naybito, and parts of the Shan and Bio are also reported.

Air strikes, which have become a daily life of life in Myanmar since the 2021 coup, have struck areas near the concentration of earthquake efforts, and in other conflict areas such as Karen and Karnini.

The sound is “like a saw”

Since the coup, the army has fought fierce battles with armed resistance groups in the epic and in central Myanmar in general, where he made illegal air strikes, executions outside the judiciary, and homes on a large scale. In some cases, groups fighting against the army were accused of violations.

Amnesty International spoke to Myanmar nurse in the village of Nawi Khoy, which is located in the town of Chung or in the Saging area, and a local rescue worker in the same town.

The rescue worker described the attacks after the earthquake, which included many on Tuesday morning (April 1) and one on the day of the earthquake. It has been implemented with manned Paraglides, which are locally referred to as “Paramotor attacks”, a new tactic for the Myanmar army in central Myanmar requires less resources such as jet fuel.

“I was in an underground shelter. [During attacks] I can hear the sound of the engine that crosses my village. The rescue worker said: “The noise of the Paramotor attack is like a saw. It becomes like our daily lives, as they survived the weather strikes. I do not know why it does not stop yet.”

The nurse, which belongs to the civil disobedience movement that opposes the army through protests and provinces, said that a prominent attack took place in the evening after the earthquake, as well as an attack on March 31. There was no death from Parameoster's attacks this time, due to the premature premature warning systems.

“I am not mentally good, everyone in the village is afraid because of the attacks and the earthquake.”

The opposition national unity government, which supervises the Armed Defense Forces that were established in the wake of the 2021 coup to fight the army, announced a two -week comment on the fighting work that begins on March 30. On April 1, a separate armed faction declared alignment, the Muslim Brotherhood’s alliance, a one -month humanitarian pause except in the case of defensive actions.

“Mode like Covid-19”

Unlike previous responses to natural disasters documented by Amnesty, the Myanmar Army issued a rare appeal to international aid, and the amnesty has received information stating that aid reaches some affected areas. But the image is mixed and complex due to the interruption of current online and reports of deliveries that are blocked or suspended.

In Sagaing Town, the capital of the SAGAING region, Amnesty has spoken with three residents. She also reviewed a report on the recovery efforts of a group of civil society coordination in Myanmar, which she said in Tagaing Town, there are increasing needs for body bags, a fast powder, torch, medical supplies and mosquito repellent files.

He also said that the army, which largely controlled the city, was imposing a “strict monitoring” of light vehicles on its way to the Championship from Mandalay. Soldiers examine deliveries, and checks can take longer if they come from other areas of the epic that has more contacts for resistance groups.

The residents said that most of the city has been damaged and that people do not have regular access to drinking water, food, shelter, medicine, adequate medical treatment, or electricity, with some small solar panels. They said that people sleep in the streets, using the mats, and the separated on the tarpaulin fabric and mosquitoes.

“The Red Cross in Myanmar is here, and the local civil societies stationed in active Sagaing are working. But I do not see international groups that come to the city,” said one of the residents on March 31. “They cannot buy food and drinking water because there is no resource in the city.”

It is resident in another town that was helping to provide aid that said locally that people need dry classes such as canned foods and packed pasta, and that local groups were using their own equipment to carry out search and rescue work.

According to the international agencies, the international agencies were granted access to aid to Sagaing, but no one spoke at the time in the city as of March 31.

A woman who holds horror scenes in the local hospital described after the earthquake.

“The situation in the hospital [Sagaing General Hospital] It was like Covid-19, there are a lot of bodies in the hospital, without knowing who they are and those who belong to it. The hospital was placed in the Holocaust. “

The woman said that she was told that she needed the C section but must be done in Mandalay, which she could not reach. As of March 31, she was staying in the open area of ​​the hospital complex.

“The human rights are the most dangerous in the positions of crises and emergency. The army in Myanmar and the other parties of the conflict must meet the direct and necessary needs of all affected societies and ensure that rescue and relief efforts are made without discrimination.”

“The priority must be provided in providing international aid – such as safe and drinkable water and medical supplies – and financial aid to the most vulnerable or marginalized groups of the population.”
