When the situation is under control in
most of the areas, the refugees sheltering at Buthetaung relief camp
have been escorted back to their home.
Although the villages in Buthetaung
Township were not set fire during the riots, the villagers evacuated the
houses and fled to safer places as they were scared of violent mob
attacks, and consequently sheltered at the relief camps.
These villagers are from southern part
of Maungtaw Township namely Thayay-kone-baung, Kaing-gyiywar-haung,
Mawrawaddy villages. They crossed over the mountain and arrived at
Buthetaung relief camp.
Repatriation started on 14 June and the
villagers sheltering at Buthetaung camp were sent back to Maungtaw
Township, but temporarily kept them at relief camp in Maungtaw Town. The
villagers from Tabeik-taung and Nyaung-chaung sheltering at Buthetaung
relief camp were sent back home.
A person engage in relief task said,
"The villagers are sent back home if the houses are not destroyed.
However, the villagers whose houses were destroyed are permitted to
remain in the relief camp until the houses are being constructed."
