It has been months since Naw Eh Wah has had a proper meal. The 15kg of rice she, like others living in the camp, was receiving every four weeks has been cut by more than half that amount.

“We fled our homes because of the violence, and now we are in trouble, almost without food,” she says. Her village, Lay Kay Kaw, 25 miles away, is occupied by the Myanmar military.
