92,000 people displaced in Myanmar since October: Reports

United Nations: More than 92,000 people have been displaced since the last October attacks on police posts in Myanmar’s northern Rakhine State.

This includes some 69,000 people who have fled across the border into Bangladesh.

The UN estimates that 23,000 people remain displaced in the north of Maungdaw Township where security operations continue, UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said.

The UN is calling for the relaxation of travel restrictions in northern Rakhine, both for local people who are impeded in accessing humanitarian aid and basic services, as well as for staff from aid organizations, the spokesperson said.
