UN Special Rapporteur to visit Arakan as protestors around the region demand that the UN, along with MSF and other international relief agencies, are forced to withdraw their operations.

Burma’s Health Minister Dr Pe Thet Khin has proposed to parliament a threefold increase in pay for medical workers who are posted to remote areas, with the additional salary to be paid by the Ministry of Border Affairs and the relevant regional government.

Burma's president appoints Duchira Dan investigation commission, but only to address the disappearance of police sergeant and the fire which razed 20 Rohingya homes.

International aid agencies say they support those in need regardless of race or religion, following a protest in Sittwe where Arakan Buddhists called for the expulsion of the groups on the basis they are biased in favour of Rohingya Muslims.

Arakanese Buddhists call for local police be given the right to use lethal force and demand that the UN and other international relief groups be expelled from the area; meanwhile, dozens of local Rohingyas are moving to IDP camps in fear of more violence.

The Rakhine Investigation Commission says that evidence proves that a policeman was killed in Maungdaw Township, but denied the mass killing of Muslim Rohingyas
