Aid to Burma
Burma is one of the poorest countries in Asia. Decades of military rule and economic mismanagement have resulted in widespread poverty, poor health care and low educational standards, with an estimated 75% of the population living below the poverty line. Burma’s military-backed government spends more than five times on the military than on health care.
The military-backed government in Burma is accused of committing crimes against humanity for its widespread and systematic human rights abuses, including torture, forced displacement, sexual violence, extra-judicial killings and forced labour.

The Burmese Army rapes, loots, burns, tortures and kills. Despite these appalling acts, there is no UN global arms embargo on Burma.
