Since late May of this year, intense fighting has forced over 110,000 people to flee their homes in Bago, Magway, Sagaing, Tanintharyi, and southern Shan State, according to a report by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA).  

Ongoing armed conflicts, monsoon floods, and the aftermath of the March 28 earthquake have exacerbated humanitarian needs in Myanmar, further straining existing vulnerabilities, UNOCHA stated.  

Across the country, an estimated 3.5 million people are internally displaced, with continued clashes between the military and armed groups driving further displacement and worsening civilian protection concerns, the UNOCHA release noted.  

Due to intensified fighting since late May, more than 110,000 people have been displaced in Bago, Magway, Sagaing, Tanintharyi, and southern Shan State. The movement of displaced populations remains fluid and unpredictable, UNOCHA added.  

Moreover, monsoon floods and landslides have worsened the humanitarian situation, affecting at least 35,500 people in Kachin, Rakhine, and southern Shan State, UNOCHA reported.  

In the first quarter of 2025, humanitarian organizations provided critical aid to 1.5 million people, covering 27% of the targeted population in need.  

So far, only 12% of the required funding for the 2025 Humanitarian Response Plan has been secured, with just 36.5% of the requested post-earthquake funding received, UNOCHA warned.  

UNOCHA stressed the urgent need for timely additional funding to scale up life-saving assistance and ensure aid reaches the most vulnerable populations as pledged.
