News Center — Millions of people in Myanmar are living under critical conditions that may reach the level of famine. The situation is warning of a humanitarian catastrophe unless urgent intervention is made to provide support and humanitarian assistance, as their lives are increasingly at risk.

The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) reported on Thursday, December 11, that more than 12 million people in Myanmar are at risk of facing severe levels of hunger in the coming year, amid escalating violence and the widening scope of forced displacement.

The program indicated that nearly one million of these individuals are facing emergency levels of hunger, putting them in urgent need of life-saving support. It confirmed that this crisis is considered one of the worst hunger emergencies in the world, and one of the least funded.

Myanmar is witnessing one of the most dangerous humanitarian crises globally, where armed conflict, forced displacement, and economic collapse intersect to create fertile ground for the spread of hunger. With declining international aid and shrinking food resources, millions are facing the threat of famine, while tens of thousands of children and families endure acute malnutrition.

This crisis not only reflects the suffering of a population trapped between war and poverty, but also exposes the fragility of the global humanitarian system in the face of prolonged and complex emergencies
