47 Myanmar refugees flee to Mizoram's Champhai district

47 Myanmar refugees flee to Mizoram's Champhai district

A group of 47 people from Myanmar, who are part of 11 families, have come to a place called Champhai in Mizoram, India.

They had to leave their homes because there were big fights between the Myanmar army and a group called the Chin National Defence Force.

The fights included air strikes and soldiers going into villages, taking things, and burning houses.

The refugees are now staying in a community hall in a village called Vaphai.

They said many soldiers came from another part of Myanmar to their area.

There are more fights happening in other towns too, and people there might also have to leave if the fighting continues.

The Myanmar army has said there will be elections on December 28, and people in those areas are being pressured to vote.
