(WORTHY NEWS) – Myanmar’s ruling military has destroyed hundreds of Christian homes in recent days while fighting perceived threats to its power base, Christian aid workers told Worthy News.
Christian charity Barnabas Fund said troops torched homes in the historic Christian village Chan Thar in the Sagaing Region of Myanmar, also known as Burma. “More than two-thirds of the estimated 500 homes in Chan Thar were destroyed on June 7, the second raid on the village in a month.”
On May 7, at least 20 homes were reportedly set on fire by Myanmar’s army, known as Tatmadaw, causing thousands of residents to flee. Barnabas Fund said Tuesday that it provided food and other humanitarian aid “for thousands of Christian families forced to flee Tatmadaw at attacks.”
