April 6th 2023, Era’s Eyes. The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) announced on April 5th that, according to the UN’s indicators, the number of internally displaced people across Myanmar has reached nearly 1.8 million.
As of March 27th, the United Nations has compiled and published the list of internally displaced people, and compared to the end of February, the number of internally displaced people has increased by over 100,000 within a month.
Of these, more than 1.4 million people were displaced by the conflict and insecurity that occurred after the February 2021 coup, according to the UN’s OCHA. More than 1,300 civilians from many villages in Shwegu Township have been displaced since early March, and are living in 10 temporary camps and nearby forests.
There is a need for shelter and other essential humanitarian supplies, and humanitarian partners are working to meet the emerging needs, he said.
In addition to Sagaing and Magway, which have strong armed resistance against the military coup, the rest of the province, in various regions, the army burned, heavy weaponry shelling and air strikes have increased.
In addition, People helping refugees in Karen State and Karenni State pointed out that the UN OCHA’s number of internally displaced persons is much lower than the data on the ground. #Era’Eyes (War refugees from Sagaing, Magwe, Karenni region who are afraid of the military council. Photo: CJ,PS)
