Over 300,000 individuals have been displaced by the war in Rakhine State, with the need for humanitarian aid reaching critical levels, according to a report of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA).

Numerous Rakhine residents are fleeing their homes as a result of the conflict between the Junta's Arakan Army (AA), with many also escaping due to the threat posed by the Junta forces utilizing artillery, small arms, and air raids to target civilian areas.

"In the eyes of the Junta soldiers, people are no longer regarded as humans to be treated with dignity. They are openly committing war crimes. We are always concerned about life-threatening situations”, a Ponnagyun resident told DMG.

UNOCHA reported that heavy airstrikes and shelling by the Junta continue in Rakhine State, exacerbating armed conflict and inflicting significant physical and mental distress on the local population.

Since the resurgence of conflict in Rakhine State, the Junta has ruthlessly enforced its notorious Four Cuts Strategy, severing regional routes and waterways, resulting in residents enduring disruptions in essential goods, shortages of medicine, and food insecurity.

With numerous impediments hindering both international and local humanitarian organizations from reaching the war-displaced population, hundreds of thousands are facing more and more difficult livelihood issues each day.

"Our situation is getting tough. We are counting on any organization's help for our survival”, a war-displaced woman from Pauktaw Township said.

Conflict between the Junta and AA re-ignited in Rakhine State on November 13 last year, enduring for over four months.
