Myanmar: update on the post-coup humanitarian situation
It has been just over two years since Myanmar’s military staged a coup in February 2021 and established itself as the military junta in power. Since then, the country has been in a state of emergency. 

Key considerations:
  • An estimated 17.6 million people are in humanitarian need, including 4.5 million with severe needs, mainly in rural conflict-affected areas.
     
  • As at 14 April 2023, the country had reported more than 34,000 casualties and 18,000 incidents of political violence since the February 2021 coup.

  • Insecurity issues constrain access particularly in the northwest of the country where the most IDPs have been reported.
