Around 1100 Karen refugees arrived on June 2, 2009 in the village and are staying in temporary shelters.
An offensive launched by Myanmar troops against ethnic Karen rebels has caused what aid groups say is the biggest exodus of refugees from Myanmar since 1997, with some 4,000 people fleeing for safety since the start of June.
