Myanmar’s ruling junta has suspended humanitarian access to western Rakhine state, where more than a million vulnerable people are in urgent need of aid after Cyclone Mocha.
The UN’s humanitarian office said the decision to stop aid access in the already-impoverished state has paralyzed the humanitarian response to Cyclone Mocha and crippled life-saving aid distributions to storm-hit communities. “Four weeks into this disaster response and with the monsoon season well underway, it is unfathomable that humanitarians are being denied access to support people in need,” UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator Ramanathan Balakrishnan said in a statement Monday.
On June 8, Medecins Sans Frontieres said its travel authorization for Rakhine was also suspended. “This will desperately hurt communities as we will be unable to open primary healthcare clinics, facilitate emergency referrals or provide much needed emergency relief items,” the aid group said on Twitter. Myanmar authorities have a long history of impeding access to aid for vulnerable communities.

Thousands evacuated in India and Pakistan as Cyclone Biparjoy approachesPakistan’s army and civil authorities are planning to evacuate 80,000 people to safety along the southern coast, and thousands in neighboring India have sought shelter ahead of Cyclone Biparjoy. It is forecast to slam ashore in the densely populated region on Thursday. The cyclone is likely the most powerful to hit western India and Pakistan since 2021, and follows devastating floods that ravaged Pakistan last year, leaving 1,739 people dead and $30 billion in losses. Biparjoy is packing maximum sustained winds of 111 mph. It’s projected to hit land on Thursday near Jakhau port in the Kutch district of Gujarat. All ports, including two of India’s largest, Mundra and Kandla, have been shut down as a precaution.
