Must-read: Leaked documents obtained by VICE reveal that the Burmese government has rejected or delayed offers from foreign aid agencies, despite a worsening humanitarian crisis. Burma’s Ministry of Health (MoH) also refused offers of additional funding from the World Health Organization (WHO) even though medical aid capabilities in Rakhine State are grossly insufficient. At present, the government has a grand total of two ambulances to cover the entire 36,778km² state, indicative of the level of medical assistance available without foreign aid. The MoH was presented with an extensive humanitarian aid offer - dozens of doctors, nurses, drivers, hundreds of aid items, and two speedboats “from five different NGOs that are willing to integrate with the MoH.” The MoH did not accept the offer, continuing their systematic denial of life-saving care to Rohingya Muslims.
