Thousands flee due to clashes in Myanmar's Kachin State: UN
Nearly 4,000 people have fled Myanmar's Kachin State in the last three weeks as fresh clashes erupted between the Army and ethnic Kachin rebels, UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said. The Myanmar Army's crackdown on the Rohingya militants in the Rakhine State last year caused the exodus of around seven lakh Rohingya refugees to Bangladesh.
