Myanmar is seeking the ethnic cleansing of the Muslim Rohingya minority from its territory, a senior UN official has told the BBC.

Armed forces have been killing Rohingya in Rakhine state, forcing many to flee to neighbouring Bangladesh, says John McKissick of the UN refugee agency.

Security forces have been "killing men, shooting them, slaughtering children, raping women, burning and looting houses, forcing these people to cross the river" into Bangladesh, Mr McKissick said.

We are urging people comes forward and help minority people in Myanmar. Any money earned from this campaign will be donated to UNHCR.

Rohingyan children need food, shelter, medical assistance urgently. They are human deserve better treatment.
