UNHCR prioritises the needs of forcibly displaced and stateless people in Chin, Kachin, Kayah, Kayin, Mon, Rakhine and Shan States as well as Bago, Magway, Sagaing and Tanintharyi Regions. By collaborating closely with partners such as sister UN agencies, NGOs, and local communities, UNHCR plays a key role in providing life-saving interventions to mitigate protection risks, delivering emergency relief in the form of core relief items such as shelter, blankets and household goods, and coordinating the response with humanitarian and protection partners.
