Rohingya people are seriously and painfully suffering from food shortage as authorities are not at all helping Rohingya with food while Rakhines has been enjoying all sorts of cares from authorities. Moreover, Rakhines public is not selling food to Rohingya making things extremely difficult for Rohingya's survival.
They need immediate supply of food, clothes and medicine. People are dying of hunger and lack of medical care, shelters and clothing. We need immediate UN and international help to save the Rohingya people.

The authority is not allowing the general public to bring supply of food from other areas to the effected areas. Therefore it is seriously important to give international pressures to the military junta to immediately allow the public supply necessary food, medicine and clothing as well as sheltering equipment
Rakhine State, western Burma -
Two death row inmates transferred to a prison in the state's capital
June 20, 2012
Mahmoud Rauhi and Kochi, the death-row inmates of Kyaukpyu prison in Rakhine State, were transferred to Sittwe (formerly Akyab) prison in the state's capital today.
Their transfer to Sittwe prison is attributable to the fact that there is no death row in Kyaukpyu prison, according to a local man who learned this from prison officials.
Three Rohingya Muslims - Mahmoud Rauhi (18), Kochi (21) and Htet Htet (Rasheed) (23) - were arrested for the murder of a Rakhine Buddhist woman Ma Thidar Htwe of Thapraychaung Village, Ramree Towship, Rakhine State in western Burma, whose killing last month helped set off communal violence in which nearly 60 people died, according to the state media.
The three Muslims of the Rohingya minority were charged under Burmese Penal Code section 376 for rape, section 302 (1c) for murder and section 392 for looting properties. Htet Htet alias Rasheed committed suicide in his cell at Kyaukpyu prison.
Mahmoud Rauhi and Kochi were sentenced to death under Penal Code section 302-1 (C). The verdict was handed down on the 18th of June in Rakhine State’s Kyaukphyu district, according to the state-run Myanma Ahlin daily.
The two death-row inmates have the right to appeal against their death sentence to a court of higher jurisdiction within 7 days of the sentence. In the absence of an appeal against their death penalty, the two will be awaiting their execution at Sittwe prison.
