The fighting continues in Myanmar despite the ceasefire after Earthquake

The fighting was reported in Myanmar despite the military council and the alliance of the rebel group announces the temporary ceasefire to support the earthquake relief.

As of Friday, the army carried out at least 14 attacks since the ceasefire, according to reports received by the United Nations Human Rights Office.
