Christian Aid Warns of Burma Environmental Damage

Christian Aid has warned that the environmental damage caused by the Burmese government's development projects could lead to the further displacement of rural communities.

In its latest report, "Human tide: The real migration crisis", the humanitarian charity warned that Burma's state-sponsored development projects would add to the number of displaced people in the world, expected to number at least one billion by the year 2050.

Urgent action was needed, the report said.
