UNICEF Myanmar Humanitarian Situation Report No. 6, 2024

Highlights

• In the first half of 2024, widespread conflict continued to drive displacement, further exacerbating humanitarian needs in multiple states and regions in Myanmar.
• Seasonal flooding and increased cases of acute watery diarrhoea (AWD) have worsened pre-existing vulnerabilities, particularly for children and women.
• Against this backdrop, nearly 230,000 people were provided with life-saving WASH supplies and services. Among them, 163,210 people (including displaced and conflict affected people) received clean drinking water.
• The funding gap of 88 per cent against the Humanitarian Action for Children (HAC) Appeal impacts UNICEF’s capacity to deliver life-saving assistance to millions of children and their families. In the current volatile context, with deepening needs and surging displacement, flexible, predictable, sufficient and timely funding is even more critical.
