Junta blockades keep Myanmar children malnourished and without vaccines

Myanmar children nationwide are facing extreme shortages of food and medicine in areas under rebel control, leading to malnutrition and illness, aid workers and residents told Radio Free Asia.

Fighting between rebel groups and the Myanmar military has forced millions to flee airstrikes, village razings and gunfire, and has often left them without stable homes and sources of food since the military took power in 2021.
