<p>We have made clear to the Burmese government that intimidation and threats towards
humanitarian staff are unacceptable, and that it is the government's responsibility
to ensure there is a secure environment for them to operate. The Burmese government
must support humanitarian actors in their access and delivery of aid, freely and quickly,
wherever it is needed most.</p><p>I personally summoned the Burmese Ambassador on
7 April and called on the Burmese Government (urgently)to restore humanitarian access
to all communities in need and to ensure the security of humanitarian aid workers
and all communities in Rakhine State. I last raised this issue with Deputy Foreign
Minister U Thant Kyaw on 13 June.</p>
