A Myanmar military airstrike on a camp for people displaced by the civil war killed 12 people in Rakhine, the westernmost state of Myanmar, according to witnesses and a rescue worker who spoke on Saturday.
Chit Su Wai, a 27-year-old shopkeeper, sobbed as she described how her daughter, aunt and mother were killed on Friday evening in Byar La IDP camp in Ponnagyun township, northeast of the state capital Sittwe.
“All I saw was their bodies scattered in pain. I could not find words to describe it,” she said.
