Mizzima-May 25
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has issued its seventh Flash Update on the earthquake that struck Myanmar on 28 March.
The update released on 22 May outlines the current challenges faced by displaced individuals, many of whom are still living in temporary shelters or relocating frequently. Facilities and services at temporary accommodation sites still require improvements to ensure the safety and well-being of residents— especially children, single-headed households, and individuals with specific needs. Financial and other constraints are making it difficult for many to rebuild their homes or restore their livelihoods. UNHCR continues to assess their needs and is actively collaborating with key partners to identify sustainable solutions.
To date, over 101,000 individuals have received assistance from UNHCR and its partners, while more than 111,000 people have already been assessed through Protection Monitoring and Assessment Tools, with ongoing assessments continuing to support the targeting of impacted communities with a focus on identifying most vulnerable and persons with specific needs.
