According to the information received, MSF was ordered to cease all of its activities on 26 February 2014, which will have devastating consequences on the enjoyment of the right to health, both by the ethnic Rakhine population and Rohingya communities. Following intimidation, violence and attacks targeting humanitarian organizations in Myanmar on 26 and 27 March, more than 300 humanitarian and development staff were reportedly evacuated from Rakhine State. Despite claims by the Government that additional medical professionals would be dispatched to fill the vacuum in health services in Rakhine State, health provision still falls markedly short of needs.
