Myitkyina Waingmaw Momauk Chipwi Sittwe $189M required KACHIN AND SHAN NORTH 9 June marked four years since conflict erupted again in Kachin and northern Shan. After four years, over 100,000 IDPs continue to need humanitarian assistance and wear and tear means that many temporary IDP shelters are in urgent need of repair and maintenance. While fighting has subsided in many parts of the Kokang Self-Administered Zone, humanitarian access for international organizations remains restricted. In late June and during the month of July, heavy rains caused floods in several parts of the country, including Rakhine, Ayeyawady, Kayin, Shan, Mandalay, Sagaing, Kachin, Chin and Magway, affecting over 200,000 people. The Government led emergency response operations, including the distribution of relief items and provision of medical care to flood affected townships. The Myanmar Red Cross Society and local NGOs, as well as international organizations also provided assistance in some areas. FLOODING 8 June marked three years since inter-commu- nal violence broke out in Rakhine. Three years on, some 130,000 people remain displaced. Severe movement restrictions continue to restrict access of IDPs to basic services including health, education and livelihoods. RAKHINE STATE A series of focus group discussions were held in May and June in 15 IDP camps in Rakhine and 15 camps in Kachin with over 500 displaced people. The study showed that while national and international organizations are reaching people with assistance, there is room for improvement in how aid workers engage and share information with affected people.
