Highlights
Flood risks will continue until the end of the monsoon season in midOctober, while October and November have historically seen the highest risk of cyclones in Myanmar.
The full economic and social impact of the floods for non-displaced communities is still being assessed. Livelihoods have been severely impacted by the destruction of cropland and disruption of markets.
UNICEF Myanmar’s total 2015 Humanitarian Action for Children appeal of $46.6 million includes US$23.3 million for protracted emergencies in Rakhine and Kachin, and US$23.3 million for the flood response.
To date only 17 per cent of the required funds for urgent humanitarian assistance for children have been raised.
