Synopsis (short abstract) The current humanitarian situation in Myanmar represents protracted displacement, human- and natural-induced crises, statelessness, limited access to food, health and livelihood opportunities, limited humanitarian access, landmines and explosive remnants. In Rakhine State, the situation remains tense with inter-communal tensions reported in some areas, particularly affecting women and children. In Kachin and Shan states, the escalation of armed conflict induced new and secondary displacements. To rebuild agricultural livelihoods affected by human-induced crises and natural disasters, FAO requires USD 7.5 million to assist 143 000 people from January to December 2019.

    Displacement driven by conflict, inter-communal tensions and exposure to natural disasters characterize the humanitarian needs in Myanmar, particularly in Chin, Kachin, Rakhine and Shan states, where the most urgent humanitarian needs are felt. Intensified militarization and migration, and escalation of armed conflict increased risks of protection violations and sparked new and secondary displacements. Affected farmers need support to increase agricultural production and strengthen household assets. Protecting livelihoods and investing in disaster risk reduction will be critical in helping farmers reduce vulnerabilities, enhance resilience and cope better with disasters and other threats to their food security.

    In Rakhine State, the situation deteriorated dramatically in late 2017. After a series of armed attacks on border guard police posts in northern Rakhine, violence led to mass displacement, including 688 000 people who have sought refuge in Bangladesh since 25 August. Since 2012, violence has resulted in the internal displacement of 241 000 people across the country. The humanitarian situation is characterized by a complex combination of vulnerability to natural disasters, food insecurity, poor nutrition, armed conflict, inter-communal tensions, statelessness, displacement, trafficking and risky migration.
