The Arakan Army (AA) has appealed to international and civil society organizations to provide emergency medical supplies and medicines for patients injured in the bombing of Mrauk-U Hospital.

The United League of Arakan (ULA) issued a statement on Sunday thanking international organizations and individuals for their support and condemnation of Myanmar’s military regime over the airstrike on Mrauk-U Hospital.

According to the ULA statement, healthcare services at Mrauk-U Hospital were completely disrupted after the bombing, leaving emergency patients facing severe difficulties and loss of life due to the lack of timely medical treatment.

The statement said the ULA is appealing for assistance to ensure justice for those affected by the mass killings and to secure urgently needed medical supplies and medicines.

Civil society organizations in Arakan State believe that continued medical assistance to the ULA from international organizations is beneficial to the Rakhine people.

An official from the Mrauk-U Youths Association (MUYA) said, “The current situation is one of high demand for medicines due to the large number of injured patients.”

The military regime bombed Mrauk-U Hospital on International Human Rights Day, December 10.

In the attack, a total of 33 civilian patients, caregivers and hospital staff from Rathedaung, Sittwe, Ponnagyun, Kyauktaw, Mrauk-U, Pauktaw, Myebon and Maei townships were killed, while 77 others sustained minor, moderate and serious injuries, according to an Arakan Army statement.

The Department of Public Health under the ULA said Mrauk-U Hospital was a civilian hospital before the war and remained a civilian facility staffed by public health workers after the ULA took control of Mrauk-U, with no involvement of military personnel or patients.
