WFP Warns that it Faces Fund Crunch in Myanmar

The World Food Programme (WFP) issued a warning on Friday that it is facing a 70% funding shortage in Myanmar, where millions of people are facing rising food insecurity.

People in Myanmar are “experiencing the most difficult moment in their lives” as a result of the “triple impact of poverty, current political unrest, and economic crisis,” as well as the rapidly spreading third wave of COVID-19, which is “practically like a tsunami that’s hit this country,” according to WFP Myanmar Country Director Stephen Anderson, speaking from Nay Pyi Taw.

Between May and October, 3.4 million more people could be forced into food insecurity, according to a UN agency report released in April. As a result, the World Food Programme (WFP) increased its scheduled aid to Myanmar and began “large-scale emergency food distributions for up to two million people in Myanmar’s poorest townships, beginning in Yangon,” according to Mr Anderson.

At the same time, the World Food Programme (WFP) is “intensifying its operations” to reach newly-displaced people displaced by recent violence and insecurity, while continuing to aid 360,000 food-insecure people in Rakhine, Kachin, and Shan states, where there have been long-standing issues.
