The situation in Shan State remains highly volatile and marked by ongoing conflict across several regions. Here are some updates:
Continued Fighting:
While Northern Shan State has decreased its large-scale ground battles, the Myanmar military is still using airstrikes and bombings to target ethnic armed groups, keeping the region tense. In both Southern and Northern Shan States, ambushes continue to disrupt stability and security. Meanwhile, Rakhine and Kachin States face relentless violence, with battles fought both on the ground and from the air, escalating in certain hotspots. These ongoing conflicts not only endanger lives but also add to the growing humanitarian crisis.
Civilian Challenges:
Many displaced families are unable to return to their homes due to insecurity. Travel across conflict zones has become increasingly dangerous and costly. Many routes are blocked, forcing individuals to take longer and less secure detours. Fuel price hikes and damaged infrastructure further complicate logistics, creating significant obstacles for humanitarian aid and commerce.
Natural Disaster:
Typhoon Yagi, Asia's biggest storm of the year, has caused severe flooding and landslides, displacing thousands of families in Shan State, Myanmar. AAT is now seeking funds and donations to support these families, including our affected volunteers.
