Thousands of people ran for their lives from Myanmar into India during the past few days. Armed groups have been fighting each other near the border and scared families decided to escape. The refugees walked through thick jungle areas to reach safety across the border. Almost 4000 people made this dangerous journey since last Thursday.

Most of these families crossed into Mizoram state where many already have relatives living. The lucky ones moved in with family members who could take care of them. Other refugees found shelter in local community buildings where volunteers help them with food and basic needs. State officials confirmed that all the new arrivals need urgent assistance.

Mizoram already takes care of more than 30000 refugees who escaped Myanmar earlier. The country has been fighting a brutal civil war since military leaders took control back in 2021. Two different rebel groups started battling each other for control of an area called Chinland. Both groups hate the military government but they also fight against each other.

Police officers say the violence continues across the border and nobody feels safe going back home. State officials decided not to send anyone back because the fighting keeps getting worse. India has tried to stay friendly with Myanmar to compete against China but refuses to criticize the military takeover directly.
