I received a call from Thailand with the following information:

Karen refugees are being allowed to stay in Thailand in new camps around 
Puay Baw Loo village.  NGOs are not being allowed to take supplies into 
the refugee areas, but they can drop the supplies off at the Thai 
checkpoint on the road into Puay Baw Loo.  The Karen can then pick up the 
supplies and take them to the refugees.  Reporters are not being allowed 
into the Puay Baw Loo area, but some Karen have been able to come out and 
give interviews to the reporters.  The Karen refugees are safe at the 
moment, and they are not being shelled by the Burmese troops who continue 
to occupy Manerplaw.
