1 KAREN REFUGEE COMMITTEE NEWSLETTER & MONTHLY REPORT SEPTEMBER, 2010

2 Karen Refugee Committee Newsletter & Monthly Report September, 2010 This month KRC decided to mention a few refugee-related issues to raise reader awareness in the hope that suitable solutions can be found. (1) Funding shortage: According to the camp reports, we learned from camp medics that the number of patients referred to local hospitals has dropped sharply. For example, a report from a camp medic said that one patient with a uterine tumor could not be treated in the camp hospital, but she could not be referred to a local hospital due to a lack of funds. This has resulted in many community complains, which the camp medic are having difficulty handling. The issue was raised at the KRC and NGOs meeting, but a solution seems beyond reach. In the meeting, a medical NGO explained that the funding shortage is due to the ongoing financial constraints. It is not a surprise that funding support is limited, given increasing demands all over the world. It was stated that only 900,000 Bahts remains for use in three camp hospitals until the end of The number of medical staff in the camps has been decreasing, resulting in a heavy burden on the remaining medical staff. The KRC, which is responsible for the refugee community, is concerned and therefore wants our international supporters aware of this need, because the refugees are the ones who will suffer. (2) Water problem: Mae La Oo, a camp of 16,705 refugees located near Mae Taw La, a local Thai Karen village, previously shared water from a stream that flows between the camp and the village. However, according to a report from the camp leader, the camp will soon face a water shortage because the local villagers need to use more water from the stream for a rural development project, and the remaining stream water will be insufficient for refugees living in the camp. The KRC therefore wishes to share this developing problem with organizations that are support the refugees to help us find solutions for adequate water, especially during the coming dry season. The camp report said that the water supply line would be cut off from November, (3) Flu outbreak concerns: The newspapers frequently report on flu outbreaks in many places in Thailand. Therefore, the Sob Moei district Nai Amphur (district chief) recently issued a statement forbidding entrance to Mae La Ma Luang and Mae La Oo camps from 29 th September to 13 th October, The district office concerned with public health assigned the public health organization work with the MI in the camps to closely monitor and implement prevention measures to diminish possible flu outbreaks. (4) Students: After decades of conflict between the ethnic Karen and the Burma government, education and schooling has been seriously affected. The community schools were burnt down together with the villages and no decent schools remain for the children and youth who live in rural areas of Karen State. The only option for them to receive an education is to enroll in schools inside the

3 refugee camps. However, a major obstacle that prevented them from accessing this educational opportunity was that these students who lived in boarding houses in the camps were not eligible to receive food rations. But now we have good news! The TBBC has said it will add 3,801 rations for boarding house students, possibly in all three camps in Tak province. Although this is good news, we aren t sure yet if this assistance will be sufficient to cover all the relevant students. (5) New Arrivals: A most critical and long-standing problem in most camps is new arrivals. According to RTG policy, no new arrivals have been allowed to register since However, the camp reports of July, 2010 reveal there are 39,203 new arrivals currently living in the camps. These new arrivals can be generally categorized as follows: 1) New arrivals who fled their native places as a result of the policies of the Burma military government. The ground reality in many areas in Karen states is so untenable that the local people have had to flee their villages just to survive. They have stubbornly clung to their homes and land for years, but after all hope evaporated, they finally gave up and came to the camps only. 2) Business opportunists: These people have lived under the Burma military government without any problem, but left their communities to enter the camps seeking better business opportunities. 3) Resettlement seekers: These people come to the camps in hopes of being resettled. They are a variety of different ethnic groups from all over Burma, including Kachin and Arakan states who want to escape the the oppressive rule of the Burmese military government. Some new arrivals have been living in the camps for years without recognition and are ineligible for basic food rations. The longer this situation remains unresolved, these new arrivals may misbehave and create insecurity in the camps. What is the solution to these problems? Your Comments are Welcome!
