TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Myanmar government will resettle refugees displaced at home and abroad due to conflicts in the country's northern Rakhine state, said U Win Myat Aye, minister of social welfare, relief and resettlement on Wednesday.
The local people in the affected areas by the recent attack on Aug. 25 are being provided with humanitarian aid without any discrimination, the minister said, adding that at present, the authorities are increasing more humanitarian aid to reach all areas in Rakhine state with the help of donor countries and organizations, Xinhua news agency reported.
