According to a report from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA Myanmar), over 15 million people in Myanmar are facing food insecurity four years after a political transformation, and the country continues to grapple with significant humanitarian challenges.

Four years after the military takeover, Myanmar remains entrenched in conflict, with increasing humanitarian needs. Internal displacement has reached a record high of more than 3.5 million people, and concerns about civilian protection are growing.

Clashes between the Myanmar Armed Forces (MAF) and various non-state armed groups are ongoing in several states and regions, particularly in the Northeast, Northwest, and Southeast of the country. In addition to widespread conflict, Myanmar is dealing with multiple crises that affect civilians, including natural disasters, disease outbreaks, food insecurity, inflation, loss of livelihoods, and disruptions to critical public services, as highlighted by OCHA Myanmar.

The crisis has also made Myanmar the country with the highest number of landmine and explosive ordnance casualties in the world, surpassing other countries heavily affected by such dangers. Over 15 million people are suffering from acute food insecurity, while education and healthcare services are severely disrupted, and millions are living without safe shelter or access to clean drinking water.

Despite significant underfunding and other challenges, humanitarian partners managed to reach at least 4.2 million people with assistance in 2024. Through the 2025 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan, aid organizations aim to assist 5.5 million people with life-saving support, which will require US$1.1 billion in funding.
