A team of four Rangers and two volunteers visited 13 villages to provide medical care, distribute medical supplies, and monitor the current situation.<\/p>\n<p>The 13 villages were abandoned in 1975, 1999 and 2002,\u00a0and they were rebuilt and resettled in 2016. At that time, the villagers faced hardships from government development projects in the area and the presence of the Burma Army Light Infantry Battalion (LIB) 351, which initially prevented reconstruction in the area. The population has lacked food security and access to basic medical care\u00a0since 2016.<\/p>\n<p>The Rangers were called to the area to treat patients unable to travel to or afford medical care in the plains area of central Burma.\u00a0The Rangers treated 295 patients with various ailments including but not limited to: hypertension, infections, acute injuries, dental needs, gastritis, and chronic joint pain. The Rangers also replenished the local healthcare workers\u2019 stock of medicine and medical supplies.<\/p>\n<p>The villagers are afraid\u00a0the\u00a0National Ceasefire Agreement\u00a0will collapse. A\u00a0Burma Army presence\u00a0in the area has augmented\u00a0their\u00a0fear. The Rangers documented\u00a0two Burma Army camps at Kyauk Pya, and Myaw Oo,\u00a0which Burma Army LIB 440 occupied, and two militia camps at Aw Law Se and Kyo Pin Seik.<\/p>\n<p>The Ranger team concluded their report by calling for further missions in the area. The Rangers hope to continue to monitor the conflict and provide health care and health awareness to the estimated 8,070 Karen villagers in the area.<\/p>\n<script type='text\/javascript'>\nvar post=eval({\"id\":75514,\"title\":\"Rangers Conduct Emergency Mission to Mone Township, Karen State\",\"subject\":\"FBR: Rangers Conduct Emergency Mission to Mone Township, Karen State\",\"admin_email\":\"info@freeburmarangers.org\",\"admin_name\":\"FBR\"});\n<\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rangers Conduct Emergency Mission to Mone Township, Karen State 28 December 2019 Karen State, Burma In December 2019,\u00a0a Free Burma Rangers team carried out\u00a0an emergency mission to\u00a0Mone Township of Karen State.
