After fresh fighting, over 5k from Myanmar take refuge in Mizoram
Monday, 13 November 2023
A group of 39 Myanmarese soldiers and around 5,000 civilians have sought refuge in villages in Mizoram's Champhai district following renewed fighting between militia groups and junta-backed forces. The refugees will be housed in existing camps, with 21 of them carrying injuries. The soldiers surrendered their arms after fleeing the overrun Khawmawi army camp. This influx adds to the already large number of Myanmarese refugees in Mizoram, where over 40,000 people have sought shelter since February 2021. The home ministry has been notified of the situation.
