Myanmar overview

In 2018, there are approximately 863,000 people in need in Rakhine, Kachin, Shah and Kayin states.?There is active conflict primarily in Kachin, Shan and Rakhine states. Access to populations in need  in these states is constrained.?

In Rakhine state, discrimination against the Rohingya Muslim minority has caused protracted displacement. IDPs in Rakhine have limited access to services and are confined to camps. Since October 2016, tensions between the Rohingya and the Myanmar Army have escalated and access has deteriorated further.? The crisis escalated once again in August 2017, triggering the largest movement to date of Rohingya into neighbouring Bangladesh.
