"The victims are currently simply asking for help to preserve their lives, which exposes the terrible toll that geopolitical conflict has on everyday people."

Counting his days while suffering from a complicated mixture of human emotions is Shafiul Alam, a resident of Ghumdhum's Jalpaitoli, a formerly peaceful village in the Bandarban border area. On February 5, his life took an unexpected turn when a stray mortar shell launched from Myanmar destroyed his mother's life and left his two children with wounds on their feet. The Rohingya 65 years older construction worker also perished in the explosion.

Not only is he unable to grieve in a healthy way, but he is also preoccupied with how he would raise his kids on little to no assistance. The only reason the kids survived was because they were inside their house when it happened, helping their grandma feed the construction worker lunch.

Later, Superintendent of Police Saikat Shahin and Deputy Commissioner Shah Mojahid Uddin of Bandarban visited the family. Although a little payment of Tk 20,000 was made available very enough, the grieving family voiced their displeasure with the government's support system.

Their request for international engagement is unambiguous: they want justice served and an end to their constant dread for their lives.

In addition to his family, Shafiul is not the only one affected by the civil conflict in Myanmar. Fearing for their safety, thousands of citizens who live on the country's border now pass every day.

At least twelve persons have been shot in Tumbru and the neighboring villages, and the severity of their injuries is compounded by the absence of government assistance and medical care.

The victims are currently simply asking for help to preserve their lives, which exposes the terrible toll that geopolitical conflict has on everyday people.
