Addition: Fresh Attacks Begin in Kyauktaw, Ponnagyuan and Rathedaung towns of Arakan

By NDPHR(exile),

For your information, our unfinished preparation list of causalities and destructions of Arakan can be read at (Destruction and Causalities List at the page of www.ndphr.net ) in order to compare with the latest figure released by the quasi-government that fancily balancing by putting at- "the number of casualties on both sides at 77 dead and 109 injured, 4,822 houses, 17 mosques, 15 monasteries and three schools were destroyed, some 14,328 Arakanese Buddhists and 30,740 Rohingya Muslims have been affected and are currently living in 89 temporary camps".

While intl reports do not cover occasions of Southern Arakan/Rakhine State(SRS), you are welcome to visit Arakan and find out all of these listed areas.

In our figure, there are more than 60,000 homeless Rohingyas in Sittwe alone but less than half of them have been listed in five refugee camps. The rest about 20,000 shelter-less Rohingyas plus Kaman and Rakhine muslims are languishing without food in Rathedaung, Kyauktaw, Pauktaw, Rambre townships.
The eventually permitted aid distribution in the five Rohingya refugee camps of Sittwe by Yangon based muslim organizations has estimated similar number.

A source received from Sittwe confirmed that the Rohingya leaders raised about the permission to distribute food for shelterless Rohingyas in other regions during in a meeting with Vice-President Sai Mauk Kham and Rohingya leaders in Sittwe on 4 Aug. Rohingya political prisoner Mv.Abdu Shukur, Imam Jabul Haque, current village secretary- Master Shwe Hla, Khobir, and other acting leaders were attended in the meeting.
The vice president did not said about normalization of the situation nor the restoration of Laws and Orders. Instead, he informed that the Rakhine community wanted to live separately from muslim people therefore he asked the remaining a few Rohingyas and Kamans in the town are whether willing to move to townside areas.
