Food insecurity in Myanmar has reached unprecedented levels amid the worst humanitarian crisis in its recent history, affecting 15.2 million people.

A political crisis, conflict, economic downturn, pre-existing poverty and climate-related shocks are all driving the emergency.

Conflict is spreading into new areas, driving displacement at a record scale. Most displaced people are cut off from access to food and often dependent on WFP assistance for survival.

Meanwhile, the country is highly vulnerable to climate-related disasters. Devastating floods in September 2024, caused by Super Typhoon Yagi, have affected more than 1 million people.
