As a result, more than 4,000 ethnic Karen villagers have fled into Thailand as Burmese troops shelled the camp causing one of the largest movements of refugees across the border into Thailand in more than a decade.

Christian Freedom International has supported schools and a clinic in Ler Per Her for more than five years. Earlier this year, CFI distributed rice to new arrivals in Ler Per Her village.

Those who have fled across the border are in urgent need of shelter, medical assistance, food, and clothing. Others are still trapped inside Burma, unable to reach even the limited safety of Thailand.

Christian Freedom International is supplying emergency medicine, shelter, clothes, food, rain ponchos, mosquito nets, and other assistance to the survivors of the raid.

The recent Burmese offensive is aimed at several ethnic Karen IDP camps. The Karen have been displaced by decades of war, resulting in the world’s longest civil war.

More than 100,000 mostly ethnic Karen refugees already shelter in camps in Thailand after fleeing military raids by the Burmese army, and more than half a million are displaced inside military-run Burma.

CFI has been assisting the persecuted Karen people of Burma for the past 10 years with medicine, backpack medic teams, medical clinics, schools, orphanages, and emergency aid.
