Myanmar's Rakhine State Plunges Into Hunger Crisis Amid Raging Civil Conflict
By Vijian Paramasivam PHNOM PENH, Aug 14 (Bernama) -- Half of the population of Rakhine State in Myanmar is facing severe food shortages due to an ongoing civil conflict. The World Food Programme (WFP) has made an urgent call to the global community for increased humanitarian assistance. bootstrap slideshow WFP said a combination of conflict, blockades, and funding cuts is driving a dramatic rise in hunger and malnutrition. 'People are trapped in a vicious cycle, cut off by conflict, stripped of livelihoods, and left with no humanitarian safety net. 'We are hearing heartbreaking stories of children crying from hunger and mothers skipping meals. 'Families are doing everything they can, but they cannot survive this alone,' WFP Representative and Country Director in Myanmar Michael Dunford said in a press statement. The western state with a population of about three million has been mired in the bloody conflict for years. A military coup in February 2021 only exacerbated the situation. Rakhine, bordering Bangladesh, has also been caught in sectarian violence which has caused the displacemtn of its Rohingya minority.
