Myanmar- Mission

3.5 million people internally displaced

4.6/5 on the ACAPS humanitarian crisis severity ranking

19.9 million people need humanitarian aid

191,693 people assisted

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

This ongoing instability has led to a major humanitarian crisis, marked by massive human rights violations and the displacement of more than 3.5 million people within the country, including nearly 1.5 million between late 2023 and mid-2024.

The situation is exacerbated by a severe economic recession, making access to essential services and food extremely difficult for millions of Burmese people. The most vulnerable populations, including the Rohingya confined to camps in Rakhine State, remain totally dependent on humanitarian aid.

These protracted crises have been compounded by a major natural disaster: the March 2025 earthquake, which measured 7.7 on the Richter scale, killing 5,800 people and injuring more than 5,000. Extensive damage to infrastructure has further exacerbated humanitarian needs in the Sagaing and Mandalay regions.

Despite the scale of the crisis, Myanmar remains one of the world’s most neglected emergencies, with little humanitarian funding from institutional donors. The country’s vulnerabilities to climate change are exacerbating an already critical situation.

In an unstable environment, SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL continued to be at the forefront of humanitarian response. Our NGO provided essential services in displacement sites and was able to respond to emergency needs in hard-to-reach areas, supporting local civil society.

SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL teams were fully mobilized to respond to the earthquakes of March 28, 2025, in the Sagaing and Mandalay regions.

Adapting to the effects of climate change is a top priority due to the country’s high level of exposure.

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