The president of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Mirjana Spoljaric Egger, called for greater humanitarian access to civilians in need across the country as she concluded her visit to conflict zones in Myanmar from September 5-9 amid escalating conflict and violence, and deteriorating humanitarian conditions.
Communities in conflict-affected areas face severe challenges accessing healthcare, sanitation, clean water, food, and shelter, the ICRC said in a statement released on Tuesday.
“Many families in Myanmar are going without basic medicines and health care, face food shortages and have limited access to clean water and sanitation. They live with the fear of conflict and violence. The disruption of livelihoods is leaving countless people without the means to sustain themselves,” said Spoljaric Egger.
Restrictions on the movement of people and goods limit access to essential services for many communities in a shrinking humanitarian space, said the ICRC.
The ICRC president met junta boss Min Aung Hlaing in Naypyidaw on Monday. During the meeting, she reportedly advocated for greater access to Myanmar’s conflict-affected areas.
