Myanmar Conflict
- Massive displacement
- Over 3 million people are internally displaced in Myanmar due to war and conflict. In addition, more than one million Rohingya refugees live in camps in neighboring Bangladesh following military operations in 2017. Many are living in the jungle or in makeshift camps without access to clean water or a roof over their heads.
- Poverty
- Since the military coup in 2021, poverty has doubled. Nearly half of the population now lives below the poverty line.
- A lost generation
- The war has caused the education system and healthcare services in many areas to completely collapse. Children lack access to basic vaccinations and schooling.
- Forgotten crises
- Myanmar often falls into the shadow of other conflicts in the news. This means that aid organizations frequently lack the resources to reach those in need.
