UN: 3 million facing hunger in coup-hit Myanmar
Food aid reliance is set to triple to 3.4 million people in Myanmar within months, the World Food Program has warned, as the country reels from a coup, endemic poverty and the COVID pandemic.
Food scarcity in coup-hit Myanmar will multiply in the next six months, leaving 3.4 million people reliant on its aid, the UN s World Food Program (WFP) warned Thursday.
Additional food assistance was intended for two million more vulnerable people on top of 1.3 million already receiving such aid, with an estimated 250,000 people already displaced, said the WFP.
Appealing for $106 million (€88 million) in extra funding, the WFP s director for Myanmar, Stephen Anderson, said families were already skipping meals” in the 10 poorest suburbs of Yangon, Myanmar s largest city.
