Myanmar: Scenes From Myebon IDP Camp

Over 3,600 people live at Taung Paw camp outside of Myebon town in Myanmar’s Rakhine state. They fled here in late October 2012 when fighting between Buddhists and Muslims erupted in Rakhine for the second time that year. Since the time this video was taken, UNHCR has built longhouses to provide better shelter against the elements. However, the overall situation for the Internally Displaced People (IDPs) in Rakhine state is still far from ideal, and continued support is essential.
