Armed clashes between the Myanmar Armed Forces and People’s Defense Forces and Ethnic Armed Organisations have continued unabated, with the use of heavy weapons, airstrikes and artillery. There have been 20,395 conflict fatalities since the February 2021 coup and almost 1,000,000 people have been displaced.
The cost of the basic food basket has increased by 34% compared to last year. 46% of the population is estimated to be living in poverty. To address this unprecedented situation, humanitarian actors in Myanmar have prepared a Humanitarian Response Plan for 2022, requesting USD 826 million in order to reach 6.2 million people in need of life-saving support.
