Highlights
Three months after the devastating earthquake in Myanmar, communities in the affected areas continue to face unmet basic needs. Seasonal flooding has led to the relocation of some sites, prompting a joint cluster assessment to better coordinate support. Mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) needs remain a significant concern among the affected population.
UNHCR continues its outreach efforts, delivering core relief items and shelter assistance, while working closely with key stakeholders to identify protection needs and provide appropriate responses.
To date, over 123,000 individuals have received assistance from UNHCR and partners. More than 128,000 people have been reached through protection monitoring and assessments, which continue to guide targeted support for the most vulnerable, including those with specific needs.
