APHR issues urgent warning of a humanitarian crisis for Myanmar refugees

Mizzima

On 21 July, ASEAN Parliamentarians for Human Rights (APHR) issued a statement warning that humanitarian operations along the Thailand-Myanmar border could collapse by the end of July due to funding cuts, threatening over 108,000 Myanmar refugees with a lack of food, shelter, and medical care.

By 31 July 2025, essential aid operations led by The Border Consortium (TBC), the International Rescue Committee (IRC), and other humanitarian partners are set to cease or drastically reduce their activities due to the sudden and severe funding withdrawals of the United States and other major donors.
