Four years after Myanmar's military coup that ousted Aung San Suu Kyi, the nation is experiencing severe turmoil. The military's actions led to widespread resistance and a brutal civil war, resulting in over 3.5 million people displaced and a third of the population facing acute food insecurity. Scholars highlight instances of famine throughout the country, with many families struggling to secure basic food items. The economic collapse has affected both contested and government-controlled areas, severely impacting ordinary citizens and driving prices through the roof, emphasizing an urgent humanitarian crisis largely ignored by the international community.
More than 3 1/2 million people have been displaced by the fighting, with more than 15 million – nearly a third of the population – facing acute food insecurity.
The situation is quite bleak. There are pockets of famine all over the country. Families have some rice, but absolutely no meat, maybe fish paste or an egg.
