Cyclone Mocha ravaged Myanmar. Millions of people are in dire straits. With the government cutting off aid to the disaster-hit areas, all hopes of bringing life back to life have been dashed. Human rights organizations described the brutality of a government once morest a section of the country’s population as the followingmath of the cyclone as more unbearable than a natural disaster.
Mocha, which blew in mid-May, did not leave much of a dent in Myanmar. Thousands were killed. Myanmar was in the peak of monsoon season. A situation in which even basic needs such as food and drinking water cannot go outside. There are very few leak-proof houses for common people. Children who attend schools without roofs only when there is no rain. Cyclone Mocha blew like a mushroom. The rest of the houses collapsed like skeletons. They spend their lives sitting under the canopies they get without even sleeping. According to Myanmar’s junta, 145 people have died in cyclone-related natural disasters. But international observers estimate that the actual figures are ten times higher. According to the Arakan Sena, a local armed group in the Rakhine region, around 2,000 villages have been destroyed. Places to rest for regarding three lakh people.

Mocha has ruined the lives of 32 lakh people out of 55 lakh people in Myanmar. The state of Rakhine, which suffered the most damage from the cyclone, is the poorest region in the country. As of 2019, 78% of the population lives below the poverty line. Rohingya refugees have suffered the most in Mocha. They had no hope that the country would take them by the hand in the midst of military rule and political anarchy. On the contrary, they hoped that outside the country, the comforting eyes of the countries of the world would fall on them. The first few days following the typhoon, the rice and oil they received gave them a lot of hope, even though it was in small quantities.

But on June 8, the military regime stopped those who volunteered from outside the country. The local government under the control of the junta has not even smuggled basic goods such as food and medicine into the area.. Their discovery was that NGOs are only interested in helping the Muslim community. Volunteers and supplies were blocked in Rakhine’s predominantly Muslim Rohingya community. With the government cutting off aid to the disaster-hit areas, all hopes of bringing life back to life have been dashed. Human rights organizations described the brutality of a government once morest the people of that country as the followingmath of the cyclone as more unbearable than a natural disaster.
In Buddhist-majority Myanmar, life for the Rohingya is hellish. Buddhist sects claiming superiority see them as illegal immigrants from neighboring Bangladesh as superior to those from enemy countries. Successive governments have not only denied the Rohingya all their human rights, but are brutally hunting them out of Myanmar. Although a large percentage have left Myanmar following severe persecution, more than half a million of them still live in northern Rakhine, according to United Nations figures.
The response of the rescue workers underscores the fact that the living conditions of the Rohingya refugees are fraught with human rights violations. They confirm that not even ten percent of the supplies or aid they deliver are available to Mocha victims. They also say that there was a large-scale intervention of the army in this regard. It must be said that the condition of the Rohingya refugees has worsened following Cyclone Morcha. The tragedy of the Rohingya Muslims has become too much for them to bear, with the impact of the natural disaster on top of decades of civil conflict with the mostly Buddhist military regime that supports them. This is not the first time that Myanmar’s military regime has denied basic infrastructure to Rohingya refugees. More than 100,000 people were killed in Myanmar in the torrential rains, torrential rains and floods that followed Cyclone Nargis in 2008. Even then, the world witnessed massive human rights violations. The sanctions faced by various countries of the world were the response to the human rights violations in Myanmar. Naturally, the Myanmar government can be seen as blocking aid to Rohingya refugees as a retaliatory measure.
