About 90,000 people have been displaced in Myanmar due to the intensifying conflict between the country’s military rulers and an alliance of ethnic armed groups, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said in an update on Friday.
According to OCHA, almost all of the people who have been displaced since the conflict began on October 26 are seeking refuge in religious compounds, and a few have entered existing internally displaced persons (IDP) sites.
The UN body warned that disrupted transport, communications, and other services were hindering humanitarian responses to the fighting.
