Hundreds of protesters were involved in the attempt to stop Red Cross workers loading a boat with relief supplies. The aid shipment was bound for the north of the Rakhine State where insurgent attacks on Aug 25 sparked a military backlash. The violence has sent more than 420,000 Rohingya Muslims fleeing to neighbouring Bangladesh but many remain in Myanmar, hiding in fear and without food and other supplies, aid workers say. None of the aid workers were hurt, a spokeswoman for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said. The latest bout of bloodshed began in August when Rohingya insurgents attacked about 30 police posts and an army camp, killing about 12 people.
