Sciaf appeal for Burma refugees

A charity has appealed for help to get urgent aid to Rohingya people left homeless, hungry and in desperate need after continuing violence in Burma.

The Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund (SCIAF) is sending £50,000 to sister agency Caritas Bangladesh, which is helping more than 160,000 people who have fled over the border into Bangladesh.

The scale of people travelling from Rakhine over the border of Burma has resulted in a humanitarian crisis. n Winning numbers in last night’s Lotto draw were 12, 20, 32, 38, 48 and 54, with bonus ball 05.
