Email from Aung Aung 26th November Morning
"In Sittwe, there are 80,000 refugees. Nearly 40,000 got place in the camps, the rest are living around the other villages which weren't burnt during the June violence, some of them are living with their relatives, but nearly 26,000 built tents themselves and lived there. Yesterday [24-25th November] all those tents were destroyed, so those people need urgent shelter, there is the cold season arriving now and if they can't get shelter soon, I don't know what will happen; children, pregnant and old people's lives are in danger." communication received from @aungaungsittwe on 26th November

Aung: I just called my friends, they said most of them already destroyed, the rest tomorrow will destroyed,
me: ok

Aung: They asked them to destroy
me: ok, so they asked the Rohingya to take down their tents?
and they said if they are not gone they will destroy them?
