<p>We are deeply concerned by the situation in Rakhine State and reports of a disproportionate
response by the security forces to attacks by Rohingya militants. That is why on 30
August, the UK convened a discussion on Burma at the UN Security Council, where we
urged restraint and called for all parties to de-escalate tensions. Along with the
de-escalation of fighting, our immediate priority is how urgent food and medical assistance
can be provided to displaced civilians from all communities. Also, our Embassy in
Burma visited in Sittwe two weeks ago and plan to visit again imminently.</p>
