HIGHLIGHTS
- The humanitarian situation in Myanmar has further deteriorated following the 28 March earthquake, compounded by floods, disease outbreaks, displacement, ongoing conflict, and other overlapping crises. In total, 21.9 million people need humanitarian assistance in 2025. Earthquake-damaged infrastructure, climate shocks, public health emergencies and protection risks threaten lives. Children's access to education is severely disrupted.
- UNICEF’s humanitarian strategy focuses on working with communities and with local and international partners and all stakeholders to deliver life-saving humanitarian assistance while advancing early recovery to ensure critical services reach children in need. This includes restoring essential services and strengthening resilience to ensure a sustainable, child-focused impact amid ongoing crises.
- The revised UNICEF funding requirement is $346.8 million to provide life-saving humanitarian assistance to 4.5 million people, including 3.1 million children. Despite the 2025 HNRP and HAC reprioritization processes, earthquake-related needs have increased the overall funding requirement for 2025. UNICEF aims to reach 1.36 million people with critical WASH supplies; 700,000 children and women with primary health care services; 2 million children under age 5 with vitamin A supplementation; 714,499 children and caregivers with mental health and psychosocial support services; and 927,441 children with access to education.
