KUNMING: Myanmar residents are flooding in neighboring Yunnan province in southwest China Thursday amid a domestic war, the provincial government said.

The number of Myanmar people coming to China amid a war in Kokang is still increasing by press time, according to sources from the foreign affairs office of the provincial government of Yunnan.

Yunnan is helping them to settle down in designated areas with supply of life necessities and medical care as humanitarian assistance, the source said.
