DEMAND ACTION BY THE UN, INTERNATIONAL GOVERNMENTS AND THE HUMANITARIAN AID COMMUNITY
In the website of Mae Tao Clinic, Dr. Cynthia has this to say about respect for Burma's border controls. Below is an excerpt from her web page. "We are calling on all governments and UN bodies to provide aid immediately to our people who are dying in their thousands.
International humanitarian organizations and local community organizations must do whatever they can to prevent further deaths and to assist in the restoration of life in Burma. This is not the time to respect Burma's border controls. National restrictions that are causing further deaths, do not deserve anyone's respect.
The global community has a responsibility to protect its citizens. The SPDC has time and again failed to protect the people of Burma, and this time the scale of their neglect is killing our people. The United Nations must invoke the Responsibility To Protect, even if it is necessary to coerce or force the regime to comply with providing protection and rehabilitation to its citizens.
