El Futuro de la Crisis Alimentaria en Myanmar

Myanmar's enduring conflict and political instability have severely impacted food security, with 15.2 million people facing hunger, including 12.9 million in severe conditions. Armed violence, displacement, and climate disasters, such as Cyclone Mocha, have disrupted agriculture and supply chains, leaving rural communities especially vulnerable. Humanitarian efforts remain underfunded, reaching only 40% of the targeted population in 2024. Projections suggest food insecurity will worsen, potentially affecting over 20 million by 2028. Limited access to resources, rising food prices, and environmental degradation exacerbate the crisis. Urgent action, including improved humanitarian access and investment in climate-resilient agriculture, is critical to mitigate worsening conditions.
