Now, the food supply appears to be another weapon that's being used against the dwindling numbers of Rohingya in Myanmar. The accounts of hunger could not be independently confirmed, as Myanmar's government does not allow reporters into the northern part of Rakhine state, where most of the Rohingya lived. Social Welfare Minister Win Myat Aye says the government has been distributing food aid to as many people as possible. He says the military and his neighbors took Rohingya rice paddies and rice stockpiles. In this war on food, rice paddies are a major battlefield.
