Norwegian Refugee Council (Myanmar)

Myanmar continues to experience multiple shocks, both natural and human-induced. The overall humanitarian situation in Myanmar has continued to deteriorate throughout 2022 due to a combination of insecurity, Covid-19 and economic fragility. February 2021 witnessed a military takeover resulting in an escalation in violence, displacement, needs and protection risks. This has severely limited people’s access to livelihoods and essential services, increased needs and vulnerabilities, and contributed to an increase in negative coping mechanisms.
