Burma Military Bombs Villages and a Clinic in Karen State: “We are all very afraid of the bombing and my family is hiding in the jungle now."

Karen State, Burma

On January 4 and 12, 2022,  Burma Army air force jets dropped a total of eight bombs on the villages of Mae Kaw Law (17 55 N 97 17 E) and Wah Ka Der (17 58 N 97 19 E). Homes in the village of Mae Kaw Law and the clinic at Wah Ka Der were destroyed, three people were injured and all the villagers fled into the jungle. Below are photos of the bomb damage to the villages, fields, and clinic. The people remain in hiding and thank you for praying for them.  One of the villagers, as he stood in a bomb crater in his fields, told us, “We are all very afraid of the bombing and my family is hiding in the jungle now.” Our teams went to give medical care, food support and did a GLC program with the families there. 

God bless you,
