More than 100 Muslim households were provided shelter in Gutapyin village in Buthidaung Township by the government, but they face troubles in their daily lives, according to village manager Mahmed Tawyoke.
The government built over 100 houses for the families who took shelters in their relatives’ homes when their houses were burnt during the violence in 2017 while some of them fled to Bangladesh.
The families are now living in their houses but they could not conduct their work because their cattle dispersed during the conflict. And, they could not get financial loans to do cultivation because they are not included in ethnic groups in Myanmar.
While they are in dire need of aid to do cultivation for their jobs, they also lack health care and access to education. The village has a clinic and school, but no medical and educational staff.
The government constructed houses for families in Gutapyin Taung, Gutapyin and Thayet Taung villages in Buthidaung Township when their old homes were burnt during the conflict. The construction process started in November 2018 and was completed in May 2019.
