"U Soe Aung, deputy minister of Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement, was responding to a question from MP U Pe Than of Myebon township in Rakhine. “The government has provided adequate assistance for refugees from the armed conflict. Our ministry and others are cooperating in the relief work,” he said. There are nearly 60,000 refugees in Rakhine and much more assistance is needed, U Pe Than said. “The government provided only K100 million, which is not enough for one month, but the minister said the aid is sufficient. I don’t want to argue about it. Rakhine nationals will complain after hearing this. He also said they are ready to help, but we have seen nothing,” he said. Seven refugee camps are being built in six townships in Rakhine at a cost of K1.6 billion, U Soe Aung said. The regional government has made no restrictions on donations. “There is only one restriction and that is security. We cannot reach some remote places because of security concerns,” he said..."
