An armed conflict that began on Oct. 26 between the Myanmar Armed Forces, various ethnic armed organizations, and the People’s Defense Forces, significantly impacted the Northeast and Southeast regions of the country.

Some 25,700 individuals in Northern Shan, Bago East, and Kayin have reportedly been newly displaced, Reliefweb reported.

In Northern Shan, faith-based organizations and host communities are offering immediate, basic lifesaving assistance, such as shelter, food, and water.

Various humanitarian partners, alongside host communities and private donors, have extended cash assistance, basic food supplies, and essential relief items to the newly displaced.
