The medical and organizational support of the Irrawaddy River Doctorsis also in constant demand in refugee camps in Myanmar . Our medical team provides treatment for the refugees. To alleviate the hardship in the camps, we also pragmatically organize school desks and distribute food. 

Because Myanmar is - not only since the military coup on 1 February 2021 - a politically unstable country. The population consists of 136 different ethnic groups, some of which have been striving for independence for decades. Militias and armed groups, especially in the remote regions, fight against the Burmese military time and again. The biggest conflict is certainly the expulsion of the Rohingya Muslim minority from Rakhine State to Bangladesh, which has led to an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. But numerous other people are also repeatedly fleeing fighting in their home villages. According to the UN, there are several hundred thousand people, some of whom have to live in forests and rudimentary refugee camps.
