Myanmar military rulers' restrictions on life-saving aid are growing and may amount to war crimes such as degrading treatment, starvation, and collective punishment, a UN report says
"Aid providers are consistently exposed to risks of arrest, harassment or other mistreatment, or even death," the UN says in a latest report.Around 17 million people in the country or about a third of the population are in need of assistance, the UN says.
The report by the UN rights chief said on Friday the military has established an"all encompassing system of control" since a Feb. 2021 coup and said urgent steps are needed to meet people's fundamental needs and rights. Up to 40 aid workers have been killed in the country since the coup, some of whom were deliberately targeted, it said.
