Myanmar is facing the ?worst humanitarian crisis in its recent history, with over 16 million people needing assistance.

A? political crisis, conflict, economic downturn, pre-existing poverty, and climate-related shocks ?are all driving the hunger emergency, compounded by a devastating earthquake in March 2025 and significant cuts in humanitarian assistance.  

A total of 12.4 million people face acute hunger in 2026, with 1 million at emergency levels, while 400,000 young children and mothers are suffering from acute malnutrition.

The Â鶹ÊÓƵ (Â鶹ÊÓƵ) is the leading humanitarian organization in Myanmar, providing life-saving food and cash assistance as well as school meals, nutrition support to mothers and young children, and community resilience initiatives. 

However, a rapid rise in humanitarian needs is outpacing available funding, threatening hundreds of thousands of lives. Â鶹ÊÓƵ can target just 1.5 million of the 12.4 million people in need in 2026, and requires US$150 million to provide this support.

When Â鶹ÊÓƵ has sufficient funding, we can also build people¡¯s resilience to extreme weather events and other shocks, and reduce the need for future humanitarian assistance ¡ª for example through building community assets such as roads and flood-protection dykes.
