The next update will be issued towards the end of June 2021. HIGHLIGHTS • Around 46,000 people were displaced in the south-eastern part of Myanmar between April and May due to the conflict and insecurity, about 37,000 of them displaced in late May following the clashes in Kayah State. • In Chin State, thousands have been internally displaced following an escalation of hostilities in the town of Mindat since 12 May. • In northern Shan, clashes between the Myanmar Armed Forces (MAF) and Ethnic Armed Organizations (EAOs) and among EAOs continue and around 2,800 people were displaced in May. A total of 8,400 people who have fled since January 2021 remain displaced. • In Kachin State, there has been no new displacement during the reporting period, despite the active armed conflict between the MAF and the Kachin Independence Army (KIA); about 8,500 people who fled insecurity since mid-March remain displaced. • No new population displacement has been reported in Rakhine State. Cases of acute watery diarrhea (AWD) are reported in IDP camps in Mrauk-U, Paukaw and Sittwe townships. • Humanitarian response remains severely constrained in all conflict-affected areas due to insecurity, banking disruptions, road blockages and pre-existing access challenges. • Myanmar Humanitarian Fund First Standard Allocation of US$10 million launched on 13 May has been amended with an additional $0.35 million to scale up response in Chin State.

The Kachin conflict originally began in 1962, but a ceasefire held from 1994 until it was broken in 2011.1 Since then, the Tatmadaw has conducted major military operations in Kachin state, and sometimes northern Shan state, which continues to the present. Since the second Kachin conflict began, thousands have been killed, over 100,000 civilians have been displaced, and there have been widespread and illegal use of systematic rape, extrajudicial killings, torture, forced labor, land takings, landmines, child soldiers, and other human rights violations as described below. While violations have been alleged from both the KIA and Tatmadaw forces,2 Tatmadaw alleged violations are significantly more serious and widespread.
