Quick Glance: Refugees Flee Violence in Southeastern Myanmar

Thousands of people from Myanmar’s Kayin (Karen) State have fled to Thailand to escape the fighting between the junta and ethnic Karen troops.

The Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA) captured the last military outpost in Myawaddy, leading to retreat and reinforcement by junta forces.

The battles intensified, causing an influx of refugees crossing the Moei River into Thailand, with Thai authorities offering humanitarian aid.

Thailand is fortifying its border defenses and providing assistance to refugees as the situation remains tense along the border.

apnews.com/article/amnesty-international-annual-report-human-rights-b0f436e3037145d2ba2e3e755898eb54

Quick Glance: Israel's Assault on Gaza: Near Collapse of International Law

Amnesty International warns of the breakdown of international law and global human rights due to government aggression and the rise of big tech.

Israel is criticized for the war on Gaza, targeting civilian populations. The international community is accused of being inactive in holding Benjamin Netanyahu's government accountable.

Amnesty also condemns Russia for the invasion of Ukraine and China for human rights abuses. The organization highlights the growing power of big tech companies and the misuse of AI.

Calls for reforms in the UN Security Council and better regulation of technologies are made. Despite challenges, people globally continue to advocate for human rights and social justice.
