Thailand Gives Aid to Refugees Fleeing Myanmar Military

Thailand has given aid to Karen refugees along the Thai-Myanmar border following the recent clashes between the junta and rebels in Myanmar, says National Security Council Secretary-General Supoj Malaniyom.

Gen Supoj added that Thailand has a clear policy of supporting and promoting peaceful dialogue.

A province official said hundreds fled Karen refugees across the border due to recent fighting in the Mae Sot district of Tak. He said a shelter would be set up to take care of them in the coming weeks.

State agencies have also joined non-government organizations in assisting the refugees, who will be sent home if they wish after the situation improves.

The Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration’s (CCSA) operations center has ordered the screening of Myanmar refugees for Covid-19 to prevent the spread of the virus.
