Dhaka November 18 2021 :

Across Myanmar, 3 million people are currently targeted for life-saving humanitarian assistance and protection services.

This includes 1 million people previously identified in the original Humanitarian Response Plan and a further 2 million people identified since 1 February, according to OCHA report.

The humanitarian situation in the country is deteriorating due to armed clashes between the Myanmar Armed Forces (MAF) and local People’s Defence Forces (PDFs) and/or Ethnic Armed Organisations (EAOs), as well as between the EAOs across several states and regions.

More than 234,600 people are internally displaced due to clashes and insecurity since 1 February 2021 in Chin, Kachin, Kayah, Kayin, Mon and Shan states, and in Magway, Sagaing and Tanintharyi regions. Some have also fled into neighbouring countries.
