Christian Aid has warned that the environmental damage caused by the Burmese government's development projects could lead to the further displacement of rural communities.

In its latest report, "Human tide: The real migration crisis", the humanitarian charity warned that Burma's state-sponsored development projects would add to the number of displaced people in the world, expected to number at least one billion by the year 2050.
