They were sent to local clinic for medical treatment but they were not allowed to admit there. As a result, the victims are taking treatment from the village quack doctors. It is not possible to send the victims to Maungdaw general hospital as the roads are blocked by the Rakhine people from 9:00am to sun set for their Water Festival, said a local elder from the locality.
