Many residents have fled and people fear the city could be flattened, like Pauktaw and Minbya.

Those who can afford it have gone to Yangon, Mandalay or Pyay. Half of the city has already fled and many are waiting to buy air tickets. Flights are apparently booked until late April. The regime has blockaded Sittwe, which is surrounded by the Bay of Bengal and some try to escape by sea.
