UNOCHA releases its 2024 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan year-end dashboard for Myanmar

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Aid (UNOCHA) in Myanmar released its 2024 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP) on 17 February. The infographic proves key humanitarian achievements by sector across Myanmar. It also provides a short overview of UNICHA Myanmar’s strategic objectives for humanitarian assistance in 2024.

The following is the text of accompanying press release.

Humanitarian operations faced severe constraints due to insecurity, bureaucratic hurdles, and targeted attacks on aid workers, limiting access to conflict-affected areas. Recovery from Cyclone Mocha, which devastated parts of the Northwest and Rakhine in May 2023, remained slow throughout 2024 due to critical funding shortages. Vulnerable groups including women, children, and persons with disabilities bore the heaviest burden, facing heightened risks and limited access to essential services.
