Humanitarian situation in Burma is oppressive in the long term. It results both from natural disasters and from complicated political and security situation, in areas inhabited by ethnic minorities at borders of Burma with Thailand, Bangladesh and India in particular. The Czech Republic aims for a systematic help for Burma inhabitants, i.a. through Czech non-governmental organizations working in the area.
