The Secret Jungle Hospital

Myanmar's civil war has claimed almost 100 thousand lives. In 2021, the country's military seized power in a coup - and after losing ground to rebel and ethnic groups, it's making a renewed push - carrying out the forced-recruitment of tens of thousands of conscripts - and employing new drone technology. The United Nations' human rights spokesman has condemned the military's tactics which he's called brutal, and he's said that civilians are paying a terrible price. BBC correspondent, Quentin Sommerville and Camera Journalist Darren Conway have spent time with rebel groups.
