Myanmar's people are already feeling the “crushing impact" from the “sudden, chaotic withdrawal" of U.S. and other humanitarian aid, an independent human rights expert said Monday, calling on the world community to do more.
Tom Andrews, a monitor on rights in Myanmar commissioned by the U.N.-backed Human Rights Council, said he would appeal to its 47 member countries to issue a “declaration of conscience against this unfolding disaster” — a humanitarian crisis — “and I will urge them to follow up those words with action.”
