3.6 million people internally displaced

4.6/5 on the ACAPS humanitarian crisis severity ranking

75% of the population needs humanitarian assistance

123,500 people assisted

Myanmar has been plunged into widespread conflict between the junta and civilian forces, as well as armed ethnic groups, since the military coup in February 2021.

The country is now facing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, exacerbated by protracted conflict, escalating insecurity and high inflation. The country’s vulnerability to natural disasters and the effects of climate change are exacerbating an already critical situation. Humanitarian access is constantly being challenged across the country.

The earthquake in March 2025 alone affected 9 million people in the Magway, Mandalay and Sagaing regions, causing significant losses to livelihoods and food security. The extensive damage to infrastructure has further exacerbated the already dire humanitarian situation in these regions.

The situation is indeed a major humanitarian crisis, marked by widespread human rights violations and the displacement of more than 3.5 million people within the country. The situation has deteriorated for millions of people in Myanmar who are struggling to access basic services and meet their essential needs. In 2025, it was estimated that 19.9 million people needed humanitarian assistance, representing over a third of the population.

The most vulnerable populations, including ethnic minorities, are completely dependent on humanitarian aid to survive.

Despite the scale of the crisis, Myanmar remains one of the world’s most neglected emergencies, with critically insufficient humanitarian funding.

In an unstable and constantly evolving operational environment, SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL provided essential services in displacement sites, including long-term and newly established ones resulting from the most recent resumption of conflict.

The organization was also able to respond to emergency needs in hard-to-reach areas, supporting local civil society and solidarity initiatives. This model is highly relevant and effective in the event of natural disasters such as floods, cyclones, and for the first time in recent years, catastrophic earthquakes. SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL teams were fully mobilized in response to the earthquakes that struck the Sagaing and Mandalay regions on 28 March 2025.  Due to the country’s high level of exposure, adapting to the effects of climate change is a top priority.   

  SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL has a presence in some of the areas most severely affected by displacement in the long term. Our teams are embedded within the communities and support the provision of basic services on a daily basis, while also exploring ways to guide them towards greater autonomy in the long term.

With this in mind, SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL is consolidating its localization strategy with civil society, focusing on empowerment and sustainable aid.
