These children and their families (400 people total) are in hiding from Burma Army patrols. The Burma Army attacked their village on 26 December 2005, capturing and reportedly killing two men. The Burma Army then looted the village and are still patrolling the area. The villagers are afraid and are still hiding but have lost their homes and possessions. Families sleep on the ground in the jungle. Night time temperatures are now dropping to the 40s Fahrenheit and this is very cold for those sleeping with no shelter and few if any blankets.<\/p>\n
