Thailand - Pengungsi Myanmar tinggal di tepi sungai di perbatasan Thailand. Dipenuhi nyamuk, kekurangan bahan makanan dan air bersih. Akses bantuan asing dihalangi. Sedih.

Displaced people from Myanmar live in makeshift tents along the Thai side of the Moei River in Mae Sot, Thailand on Feb. 7, 2022. Thailand has sent thousands of people fleeing escalating violence by Myanmar’s military back home despite the risk to their lives, and despite international refugee laws that forbid the return of people to countries where their lives may be in danger. They are now living in limbo, forced to ricochet between both sides of the river dividing the two countries as the fighting in their home villages rages and briefly recedes. (AP Photo)
