Arakan Muslims Call for International Action After Deadly Airstrike on Mrauk-U Hospital
Members of the Muslim community in Arakan have issued an urgent appeal to the international community following what they describe as a deadly atrocity by Myanmar’s military council, accusing it of bombing Mrauk-U Hospital and causing mass civilian casualties.
According to local sources and community representatives, the airstrike struck the hospital compound, killing more than 30 people and injuring over 70 others, including patients, medical staff, and civilians who had sought shelter or treatment. The attack has intensified fears over the safety of civilians and the collapse of already fragile healthcare services in conflict-affected areas of Rakhine State.
Community leaders condemned the incident as a grave violation of international humanitarian law and stressed that medical facilities must be protected at all times. They warned that continued attacks on civilian infrastructure are deepening the humanitarian crisis and exacerbating displacement and insecurity across Arakan.
Calling for decisive and coordinated action, Muslim community members urged the United Nations, regional organizations, and influential governments to hold the military council accountable, press for an immediate end to attacks on civilians, and ensure international protection mechanisms for vulnerable populations.
The military authorities have not issued a detailed public response regarding the reported strike on Mrauk-U Hospital. Meanwhile, rights groups and local communities continue to demand independent investigations and stronger international measures to prevent further civilian harm.
