People displaced by the recent violence in Pauktaw pass the time at Owntaw refugee camp
People displaced by the recent violence in Pauktaw pass the time at Owntaw refugee camp for Muslims outside Sittwe early November 1, 2012. U.N. human rights investigators called on Myanmar on Wednesday to halt deadly sectarian violence and warned it not to use the conflict as a pretext to remove Rohingya minority Muslims. Some 89 people have been killed in clashes between Buddhist Rakhines and Muslim Rohingyas in western Myanmar in the past 10 days, according to the latest official toll.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are given a glimpse into the lives of those affected by the recent violence in Pauktaw. The image showcases a group of people who have been displaced and find themselves seeking refuge at the Owntaw refugee camp for Muslims outside Sittwe. Taken early on November 1,2012, amidst an atmosphere of civil unrest and tension, this photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the human impact that conflicts can have. As U. N. human rights investigators called on Myanmar to halt deadly sectarian violence, these individuals pass their time within the confines of the camp. The composition captures both unity and resilience as they come together against adversity. Silhouetted figures move about in what appears to be an evening setting, with darkness gradually descending upon them. Yet there is beauty present even in such challenging circumstances - nature's picturesque landscape provides solace and serenity. This image prompts us to reflect on the plight faced by these displaced individuals - their lives disrupted by conflict but still finding strength within themselves and their community. It also serves as a call for action from global society to address such humanitarian crises with urgency and compassion. Photographer Soe Zeya Tun has skillfully captured not only a moment frozen in time but also emotions that resonate deeply within us all - empathy for those affected by violence and hope for a brighter future where peace prevails over prejudice.
