Children in Asia's largest refugee camp on the Thai-Myanmar border go hungry amid food shortages
As Europe absorbs a large influx of Middle Eastern refugees, many people in Taiwan, China, remain concerned despite the great distance; yet the largest refugee area in all of Asia, and the one closest to Taiwan, China, is in fact right on the Thai-Burmese border, with an estimated population of at least more than 100,000, and it receives little attention. A civil society organization in Taiwan, China, has been carrying out humanitarian relief work there for as long as 20 years: the Chinese Association for Human Rights Taipei Overseas Peace Service Workers admit that the refugee issue is extremely thorny; with scarce resources, the program can barely keep young children fed, and they may even eat only one meal a day, barely reaching the "minimum standard" of living. In addition, many local refugees have second and third generations, none of whom can obtain formal nationality, and therefore cannot enjoy citizenship rights such as work, medical care, education, and freedom of movement. They rely extremely heavily on international organizations for humanitarian assistance including supplies, medical care, and education, living from day to day with no way to count the days, and can only pin their hopes on education to improve the next generation's survival and chances of third-country resettlement. Mae-La camp has a total population of 40,000, all of whom are restricted by the government of the country of asylum, with no right to freedom of movement or to obtain legal work.
