The Myanmar forces carried out more than 120 attacks after the fatal earthquake on March 28th. After the war’s declaration of a temporary ceasefire in the civil war on April 2nd, more than half of them declared more than half of them.
The UN Office of Rights has denounced Myanmar’s ruling forces for violating a temporary ceasefire in a civil war declared last month after a fatal earthquake.
“The only focus should be on humanitarian aid reaching the disaster zone,” said Rabina Shamdasani, a spokesman for the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, on Friday, that military attacks on armed resistance groups will come.”
The ceasefire was declared after the March 28 earthquake that killed more than 3,600 people in Myanmar.
The multifaceted conflict has involved Myanmar since 2021. This led to the military general of Minh Ang Fröning declared a coup, robbing Aung San Suu Kyi’s civilian government of power.
Al Jazeera’s Tony Chen previously reported that many earthquake survivors were suffering as the military government blocks aid to rebel regions.
Since the earthquake occurred, Shamdasani said, “It is reportedly that the military has carried out over 120 attacks.
“After the ceasefire was declared, more than half of them were due to take effect on April 2,” she added.
UN Rights Chief Volker Turk “we are calling on the military to remove any obstacles to the provision of humanitarian assistance and to halt military operations,” she said.
According to Shamdasani, most of these stations involved in the attacks of these airlines and artillery “including areas affected by the earthquake” have determined that the UN Department of Rights has been decided.
“Many strikes have been reported in the population, many of which represent indiscriminate attacks and appear to violate the principle of proportion in international humanitarian law.”
Shamdasani pointed out that areas at the epicenter of Sagan’s epicenter, particularly those controlled by military opponents, “have to rely on community responses for search and rescue, in order to meet basic needs.”
Amidst the devastation, Shamdasani urged the military to announce a full pardon for detainees who have been incarcerated since February 2021, including state counselors Aung San Suu Kai and President Uninto.
Amid criticism of the military government, China announced 1 billion yuan ($137 million) of emergency humanitarian assistance, providing urgently needed food, medicine and prefabricated homes.
China, which supports the military government, sent over 30 rescue teams to Myanmar after the earthquake and provided about 1.5 million yuan ($205,000) of cash through the Chinese Red Cross.
