Aid restrictions impacting 50,000 people in Myanmar

A clampdown on aid activities in Myanmar's Rakhine State is impacting
at least 50,000 people. That's according to a United Nations internal
note obtained by Reuters.

A military crackdown in 2017 resulted in over 700,000 Rohingya muslims
fleeing into neighboring Bangladesh.

And regional officials say aid restrictions have been put in place
this month because of security reasons.

William Denselow reports from UN headquarters in New York.
