Southeast Myanmar Field Report: COVID-19, armed conflict, killings and sexual violence, July to December 2020
Format
Introduction
This Field Report analyses information collected by KHRG field researchers during the period between July and December 2020.
As the COVID-19[1] pandemic entered into the second wave of infections in August, rural communities in Southeast Myanmar faced new and increased restrictions that impacted their livelihood situation. Unable to access their plantations because of local lockdowns, sell their cash crops and goods, or find work as day labourers, many rural villagers are struggling to find alternatives to provide for their families. Although some financial and material aid is being provided by the Myanmar government, the Karen National Union (KNU),[2] and other organisations, that aid remains uneven in its distribution, often failing to reach those most in need. Access to education has also been heavily impacted by the second wave of COVID-19. Ongoing school closures in most areas, and policy and procedural changes for schools that do remain open have raised concerns among parents about increased school dropouts and the educational future of their children. Access to healthcare remains limited, with healthcare workers unable to access some areas, and villagers often unable to travel to the clinics closest to them. Several positive cases of COVID-19 have been reported in KHRG’s operational area. With limited access to testing and medical services, local villages are often left to figure out on their own how to best handle and contain the situation.

Format
This Situation Update describes events that occurred in Lu Thaw Township, Mu Traw [Hpapun] District between January 2020 and April 2020.[1] While patrolling and guarding their road construction, the Tatmadaw[2] based in northern Lu Thaw Township repeatedly fired mortars and burned the forests where villagers work to secure their livelihoods. There were no known casualties, but these activities damaged lands and frightened villagers living in six different village tracts[3] in Lu Thaw Township, forcing some to flee to other areas. The Tatmadaw also transported rations and soldiers to their army camps, thus reinforcing their troops, in direct violation of Section 5(c) of the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA).[4]

Format
This Situation Update describes events that occurred in Moo (Mone) Township, Kler Lwee Htoo (Nyaunglebin) District from May to July 2020. Gold mining activities along the Klaw Myaw and Puh Lo Kloh rivers have damaged local farmland and have resulted in the pollution of plantations and water sources. More than ten villages were negatively impacted by these activities, and several villagers lost their lands after the local Karen National Union (KNU) authorities allocated them as gold mining sites. The villagers affected now face livelihood issues and difficulties to access water. The local communities reported the problem to the KNU township authorities, to no avail. The KNU authorities also implemented travel restrictions to curb the spread of COVID-19 in June 2020, which translated into livelihood difficulties for the local villagers.
